Research Week
I chose to visit the exhibitions in the Serpentine Galleries for the base of my gallery research. This was because when I was researching which galleries to visit, the exhibitions which they were displaying excited me the most. I was drawn to investigate sculpture in art as part of my research as I found this to be most relevant to the theory of negative space.
I am a theorist. Therefore when carrying out the tasks I set for myself I am methodical and structure my work with a clear purpose. I have organised my research into Haim Steinbach's compositions and Martino Gamper's compositions. Theorist's set clear objectives for themselves which I have done in terms of my approach towards my research. I have photographed the pieces which particularly inspire me and then I have begun to build these concepts in to garments. I feel that this was successful because my designs were both influenced heavily by my research and were very relevant to my title. However, when looking back over my sketchbook, I feel that I could have produced more garments inspired by my gallery visits and developed my designs further.
I included charcoal which was unexpected. I feel I need to enhance my skill using this sort of medium but I did feel that it gave the effect I wanted to achieve.
Additionally, I feel I have improved my sketchbooks from the last projects as I now am not too neat. This allows my thinking process to be much more visible and clear.
Next I am going to utilise this research into data that could potentially push my design ideas forward. I will do this through more sketches and I also want to introduce other materials in to my work for diversity.
One of my peers commented that she like the way I use the double page as one page. I do too because my ideas flow better but I also feel I should spread my work out more to allow for more development of individual references.
