Self Initiated- Week Three..

Ptolomy Mann has been a huge inspiration for my Self-Initiated brief, not only the choice of bold and vibrant colour palettes that run throughout the woven collections, but the colour blending and dying skills that are included within the weaving too. The marks and movement in each of the designs indicates a unique quality. This is such a beautiful look to the work and makes it stand out. I’m not sure I know of anyone else with such designs in the woven world. I certainly think I need to explore this method a little more in my own work.

 

 

Both images below are designs by Ptolomy Mann. The colour palette is similar to my own, and with that close to mind, I do feel as if this a direction that I  can see myself exploring further.

 

Georgia Fisher has also been an inspiration for this project, in more ways than just her brushing styles. Even though her colour palette is quite the opposite to my own her marks are very similar and this was something I picked up on straight away. I will continue to use this as a reference.
