Experimenting with Textiles
In the past few weeks we have been experimenting with textiles and how we can incorporate it into our own work. At first i found this difficult as it was an area in art that i was not confident in and began to get frustrated as i believed i did not have the skills to use textiles in my art work. However i practices more with hand stitching and found areas in my artwork to use this technique to show my ideas.
Firstly we began with looking at textile artists to collect inspiration to create out own textile pieces.
Artist Inspiration
Nicole Chui
Nicole Chui is an embroidery artist who hand stitches patterns and words onto photography and illustration. Her work gives off a powerful, loud and empowering vibe and gives off different messages depending on the photograph used, words stitched, or colour of the thread.
I was inspired by Chui as i think the use of both illustration/photography and embroidery can give powerful messages and also adds texture and depth to any piece.
