Degree Final Year Blog

Following the previous installation, I walked further down the beach to the edge of the land where I could look out to both sides of the river.
I found an interesting spot with large pieces of driftwood. Materials that had been discarded by nature, I felt inspired to make use of this material. I began with using wool to create a spider web pattern around the pieces of wood. I used bright coloured wool to do this. During this time, I wasn’t thinking about much, I was immersed in the flow of creativity and pattern making, I feel his way of working is reminiscent of Kusama’s work, the repetitive cycle of pattern making.
During the process the weather turned and became exermely windy, this didn’t put me off. I found this influenced my work positively, the wind caused the wool to flow away however due to the wool being intertwined it created and amazingly bright flowing effect. I stood amongst the flowing movement of the wool, at this moment I felt at ease, surrounded by nature, solitude and creativity. This is what I had been searching for.
The unexpected influence of the wind on my work added an interesting twist, I would like to create more work where I won’t know the outcome due to the unpredictable elements of nature.
