Locating Week Eight

This week I experiment with placement of my pleated samples, I drew out a few pages of  composition ideas. This process really helped me as when it came to the placement of the samples I already knew that I wanted a brown background in order for the edges to stand out more. However I did still try with a white background.

I got a piece of wood and although I preferred it on the brown wood background I didn't like the composition and so I mimicked the linear form of my sample and cut a piece of wood to the shape and size I wanted. This aloud me to take control of my work more. 

I feel the composition of this piece is strong as it has dense focal points and the eye is taken through the piece. I feel I have successfully answered my brief as it is clear that I have a final piece and also evident that I have explored the materials both through manipulation and through the edges as some of them have frayed and others haven't. I specifically found the edge on the satin interesting as on the reverse dull side of he material when the edges have frayed the shimmer from the weft comes through.I have experimented with scale and to take this further would continue to do so, I could see this on a much larger scale as a gallery piece or taken into nature as the colour scheme implies and nailed onto trees to create an installation.
