So the new brief we have been given is based on utility, a exhibition based in Craft In The Bay, Cardiff. So that is an eventful trip down there. I get the half 8 train and spend 8 hours there...better be good. But yeah my approach to utility is the more industrial side in the sense of pipes, you know, the general plumbing and heating sort of pipes with all the taps and such. So my colour palette is slivers, golds, bronzes, greys, blacks, and whites.
Within this I have to produce 6 knit samples, 6 weave samples, 2 stitch samples and 5 print samples and probably more outcomes when I get the written brief from Stephen and Paula... But overall I think that I am going to enjoy this unit as my work can become anything and look abstract as i want it...but I have to begin with primary research of this exhibition and then my own drawings and photos of pipes within this ancient house of mine and then get some piping from B&Q or Homebase and start drawing and weaving in with stuff like that...oh well
Pictures to follow tomorrow or Friday along with a log of the trip.
