STRIPS

The final outcome. Fabric and Paper Strips inspired by rivers. 

The final Task in our rivers project was to create paper and fabric strips incorporating all of the techniques that we had explored previously over the past 3 weeks including collage, ink, line drawing, print work and stitch. 

The fabric strips were then to become part of a group exhibition displayed in the college dome. 

Hung on the wall in an instillation with other people’s strips it did not immediately stand out as I kept it quite flat with a neutral colour pallet and finer details like small hand stitches. However on the whole I believe the colour scheme I used worked well and my work contained a lot of elements which keeps the person viewing it engaged and interested.

If I was to develop the piece further I would probably cut it up and rearrange it either mounted on a board or stitched back together to create an interesting and dynamic approach selecting the most effective areas.
