Unit 1 (As)- Texture and Pattern- Final Piece

This scarf was made in the first year of college AS level the first Unit was about Texture and Pattern. I looked at a series of Artists Junya Watanabe, Issey Miyake, Deepa Panchima, Gemma Nicolson and Gillian Allen. Looking at all the artists and the techniques they use. I liked the idea of combining Junya Watanabes shibori ideas of trapping marbles and pound coins into fabric to create the flower effects which came in to a big role in my final piece, and was based mainly on shibori. The Issey Miyake shibori which was tying elastic on a rod which created a wavy and
textured ripples which formed leaves to go with the flowers. I also used the way Gillen Allen uses her accessories such as Beads, Sequins, Gems and Laces to make her work eye catching which on my work created more texture and added to the design.
