So its a new year and i have started up some new ideas. I am experimenting as much as i can with my knitting skills to create different techniques and ways of working with the materials at hand. I have started creating crochet cubes from small squares, i dont know what i want to do with these yet but i know i am fascinated with the cube shape, especially because my cubes are formed with materials that are not solid or sturdy in any way.
Also i have create some hand knitted squares, on which i am playing with some words. I was thinking of framing them as a typtrich. This is a working progress as i am still figuring out colour combinations.
Also i am sewing a beagle motif onto a crochet blanket. The concept is changing the ordinary blanket into a kind of dog blanket, but also i am looking at it as though it is a tapestry as its taking a long time to create, just like a tapestry does. This links to Grayson Perry and his tapestry as my conceptual reference.
I was thinking last night about the transformation and developement of my work from craft to fine art. I think i may mix together photography, textiles, video and my handmade items in a show of sight, sound and touch that shows the transformation of an idea and a material. I dont know yet, just a thought.
