Innovative ideas

Here is a section of one of my pattern cutting classes............
it involved using old garments in my case a shirt and skirt
too create new innovative ideas for garment shapes /silhouettes.

As pattern cutting is still an unfamiliar and hard subject me at the moment,
I find working on the stand creating patterns that way
 much more easier as a designer as it  helps influence my designs.


Here are some examples there not the greatest quality but you get the idea .....

Keep love in your heart







































Its not the clearest image.
it's not the most obvious .
Its a found image
To me it reperesents the fast pace
my life is passing me by at the moment
How we all are guilty of taking  advantage
of the insignificant everyday tasks.
I've learnt not to let life pass me by.
Not too wait for people who don't wait for you.
To care for those who care about you
Laugh ..... when somethings funny
Scream......When your beyond emotion
Just Love......everything in your life.



'Keep love in your heart.
A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth
 and richness to life that nothing else can bring'


-Oscar Wilde

The mask with a fringe - making a difference

'My main inspiration comes from ‘assemblage expressionism’ which is an artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects. I love once-in-a-lifetime encounters with vintage objects and materials that have functional beauty. By observing and studying the beauty of the objects I gain clues to make new distinctive styles. I’ve always been inspired by using vintage material as an ecological way of creating new pieces.'

'ART WITHOUT EMOTIONAL FORCE IS WITHOUT INTERLECTUAL POWER'

Liverpool Bienall trip - looking at contemporary artists


I believe the trip was used as a tool for contemporary practising artists and designers to engage with art and the 'EMOTIONAL IMPACT' it has on modern society....
'ART WITHOUT EMOTIONAL FORCE IS WITHOUT INTERLECTUAL POWER'#

Embology - Magdela Abakanwicz- Tate Liverpool



- The uncertainty quality of the stitches

- The sculptures look almost rock like and have an organic natural appeal which I believe adds character and a sense of individuality to the art.

- The composition of the embryology sculptures are very loosely stacked which give an effortless almost like you’ve just stumbled across them.


Another intriguing piece of sculpture was by artist Eduardo Paolozzi

Who had taken the iconic Michael Angelo’s David but put his own interpretation with mix media including plaster , string and casting which produced rough and edgy textures.
