Exploration and Experimentation
'Exploration and Experimentation of materials has included the laser cutting of perspex, this has been intrinsic to the approach and development of my hand- woven samples. Within this, my practice focuses on creating experimental textiles for a range of contexts; from women's outerwear fashion to corporate environments. Research into the science behind bio mimicry, nature's patterns and strategies and the innovative development of these concepts through sustainable solutions for the future have continued to underpin this body of work.
These woven collections capture elements of order, repetition and control that aim to portray innovative three dimensional design through weave.
Future intentions include the making of an MA where I will aspire to the further development of woven textiles in collaboration with advanced technological applications.'
As it states in Jennifer's statement her work has a very scientific and practical meaning to her woven samples, I've chosen to write about her work in particular because there was something about her intricate style that seemed to catch my eye.
As a designer to catch a persons eye out of an audience is a unique quality to have, this a specific quality I would like to adapt on when I'm weaving and presenting/exhibiting my own work especially come my final year.
Whether its the petrol transparent colour theme or her well thought of exploration and experimental media, her work is something she should be very proud of.
I adore not only her choice of colour scheme but the carefully selected yarn choice and media that give her samples a lot of definition and structure.
A huge insperation for me, by looking at her final pieces as well as her development work, Jennifer has allowed me to gain more knowledge for the weaving world as I could now consider to think about bringing in different media to my sampling or to give my work a sense of structure, so that all my samples aren't necesserily flat.
Her portray about her work is exactly the effect I want to be able to have on my audience next year, so that I can also catch somebody's eye.
