Week 4.

So I've been home for a week and a half and been busy researching that I forgot about you.

Been researching artists and coming up with dye patterns and colour ways without actually being allowed to dye :( its nice to now finally be able to do my work and get on with it however my printer is still being and arse and printing lines so it might be a trip to a nice printing place like staples with a jobs lot of it.

ohwells as always comment below if you have any links i could use and i'll keep you posted more often i promise...

Under water stuffs

Currently out of practical action as can't really take my dyes and paints on holiday...time for relaxing from a hectic first year. But this lazing around doesn't mean I have forgotten to do vital primary research. 

I am currently in Spain on the Costa Brava coast of Llfranc. The sea is beautiful from above and below and contains the colours and patterns and variety I currently need to gain a sturdy foot into my sketchbook. The photos therefore will be developed and turned into patterns and repeat patterns and used in designing garments and ways to make the pattern on a knitting machine or loom as I'm undecided in which to pick...

Oh well...I just thought I'd update the zero viewers to here but I'll promise now to update once a week if not more...

Any ideas and suggestions of where to go during these ten week holiday would be appreciated either on here, my Facebook or twitter. @siobhanlouiseee Siobhan Goodger.

NEW BRIEF

This summer project that links into my first project back come September, is based on the upcoming fashion trend of CREED by Style Sight megatrends.

I have a colour palette assembled already due to the nature of Style Sights site. i will then produce this colour palette in multiple ways of dyes, acrylics, pastels and photoshop chips.

I'm super excited about this project and whats to come of it and how its going to develop over a longer time than my last briefs of contrasts and utility.

Ba1 brief two

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.

Late night ponderings

Does anyone read this?

I have views on this blog but I wanted to know by real people that I had an audience worth keeping!

I can write complete bs sometimes and therefore I want to be able to direct my bs at someone. Anyone.

I hate this right now!

Authenticitycutting and exposure to the air darkens the flesh. We stood in unheated squat having tooth and not being limp. We were nire art than science. We gently rubbed our skin in a circular motion.

Appolinaire.
Lorca.
Charles Simic.
John Cage.
David Antin.

Found poems?
random generations?

perhaps try moving away for the first person and towards the practises of the dadaist.

the store the adverbial errors hopefully from pitty test. (every fourth word on every page.)

the bible, the modern day bible (twilight, harry potter, james herbert.)!

Skies are crying, she is watching
Catching tear drops in her hands
Only silence, as it's ending
Like they never had a chance

Do they have to
Make her feel like
There's nothing left of her?

They can take everything she has.
They can break everything she is.
Like she's made of glass.
Like she's made of paper.
Go on and try to tear her down.
She'll be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper.
Like a flower.

As the smoke clears, she awakens
And untangles them from her.
Would it make them feel better
To watch her while she bleeds?

All her windows are still broken
But she's standing on her own feet.

They can take everything she has.

They can break everything she is.

Like she's made of glass.

Like she's made of paper.

Go on and try to tear her down.

She'll be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper.

Like a flower.

Go run, run, run.

She's gonna stay right here and watch them disappear.

Yeah oh

Go run, run, run

Yeah, it's a long way down

But she is closer to the clouds up here.

They can take everything she has.

They can break everything she is.

Like she's made of glass.

Like she's made of paper.

Go on and try to tear her down.

She'll be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper.

Like a flower.

Like a skyscraper.

Like a flower.

Slug (and Demi Lovato's Skyscraper with lyrics changed)

They. By slug.

They see.
They hear.
They smell.
They taste.
They feel.
They think.
They want.
They need.
They speak.
They react.
They walk.
They reach.
They. They. They. They.

I'm sitting here crying.
Wondering.

I'm sitting here crying.
Thinking.

I'm sitting here crying.
Crying.

What has my life come to?
I'm sitting here crying.


Slug

I can't pretend anymore.
It needs to stop. The thoughts are so painful to overcome. Yet they still exist.
I suppose I was strong till now. I lasted longer than I thought I ever would.
But I don't want my best friends back.
They always hurt me. Even though I know thats why I love them. I still need them in my life just not like this. I want to be able to have them around me without sniggering passers by annoying me.
I can still hear you under your breathe!
Never again, please.
