COURTING

The Practise Unit allowed me to be very experimental in my area of practise and creative journey for me as a designer, the opportunities in the last unit distinguished my working style, and context allowing me to make confident choices as a designer in techniques, which I have developed.

I have decided to continue the same concept for this final unit hoping to develop a more daring colour palette and textured surfaces. To do this I have expanded my research to a concept with more expressive visuals, influenced by the performance made by male birds during a Courtship to lure female birds.

 

 

These interesting visuals of different types of birds presenting themselves to others, expose colour, texture and movement are aspects that I wish to capture in my knits.

CONTEXTUAL CONNECTIONS

Introducing new textures to my samples will give a diverse and unique feel contrasting against knitted surfaces. Expanding the resources which I use is something I wish to challenge to create exciting pieces.
