Developing Shapes

This week I felt like the fabrics I have been making were too similar to my initial samples, and I had come to a standstill with my ideas. I decided to take some new photos of the skin for new inspiration, but instead of wrapping it in different materials I used fishing wire. I did this to take the attention away from the materials I was using and to keep it only on the skin.

My photographs provided me with a lot of shapes to work from, and I particularly like how the skin turned from a flat surface into a three dimensional surface with a lot of movement.

Reorganising Negative Space:

This drawing is far more successful then my drawings from the previous week as despite having organic shapes, there is also a structured controlled element.
