Personal Banner Life's a Picnic Fabric, Felt, Polyfill, Spraypaint, Fabric Marker 31" x 40" Statement: In creating this banner, it was the collection of found fabrics that inspired the design. The gingham and the bright red dotted fabric screamed "Picnic". The design is very graphic and organised, with almost a bird's-eye view of a picnic scene. It is meant to be a captured moment in time, hence the frame around the design. The ants are following the flow of the spraypainted felt letters, leading to the strawberries. The phrase, "Life's a Picnic" is sarcastic to me personally, as I was in a stressed moment in time, but communicates a positive, fun message to the audience, which is why I find enjoyment in it.

The original sketches looked like they could be the base for a modern lamp. They looked very organic and droopy, with so much negative space that they seemed to defy gravity. I knew in the moment of sketching, however, that the final result might look nothing like my sketches. That being said, I decided the process with the general shape in mind, and knowing that I wanted to focus on organic shapes. This sculpture became something I am satisfied with, though it differs from my original sketches. I used intuitive decision-making as the process unfolded, and I now have a better understanding of the materials. I think that, in general, it is a good thing to be able to create the art in your sketches, especially when creating for someone else. However, there is also are in ch...
Surface Pattern Design Feb 13 Pattern Detail In-Progress Research Research #1 (Liz Magor) Liz Magor is an artists who makes uncanny casts of regular objects, such as fabrics, coats, and boxes. Since I was searching for textile artists, I did not understand at first that these pieces were not ordinary plaid textile designs, but they are casts of fabric. I find it interesting how Liz chose the particular patterns in trying to create something that looks "ordinary"... is plaid the most ordinary pattern? Research #2 (Joiri Minaya ) Joiri Minaya is a New York-based artist. from the Dominican Republic who is hyper fixed on patterns, and the labor that goes on behind them. Minaya finds it interesting that women are often the ones creating patterns. Minaya also finds "patterns" in the way that women pose, particularly on vacation, and uses such images in her work. I love pattern design and hadn't considered these things about patterns before. I don't think I could...
