(Flower Project)

Line, repitition, shape and Stephen Jones

This project was all about looking at a flower and creating shapes, the research i looked at was about line and repitition, looked at architecture and the artist Stephen Jones who had this structual form that was similair to mine and i am thinking about designing a hat or shoe. so i need to push my ideas forward to see what would be aproprate.

This image is next to one of my designs, when looking at it i could feel a very strong connection with cacoons due to its repitive and wrapping feel, shape and individual sections. I did try to push this research forward but i wasnt feeling it, so i moved onto somthing that would get me heading the right way.

This work and architectual feel is what i needed to be able to push me forward. when looking at the research i decided to work with fabric and playing around with stitching and overlapping, when looking at the picture above when loking at the creases i decided to had a piping rod into the fabric and stich that into it to create these rather good qulaity structure pieces.

I am thinking i would love to exstend this projet by actauly trying to design some shoes with these bit of fabric with the pipe rods in them, i did some desings on paper and will be desinging more detailed ones ready for making.
