FULL 360

With only one week to go it's interesting looking back at my original synopsis of study, and revised synopsis. I feel over the last few months my work has come full 360. From wanting to look at scenic areas and recreate these in knit, to looking at brutalist buildings to then scrap knit altogether. I've come back round to the process of knit using the drawn and digital work as development and supporting work, and creating final knitted images. Now that I'm end the end of the project I can look back at what my aims were for a final outcome. In my synopsis of study I stated that:

"In terms of having a final outcome, I don't want to envisage this project as having a definitive end, I will therefore be working towards a series of images and sculptures that work well supporting one another with have the prospect of continuing indefinitely."


Although I decided against pursuing 3D knits due the the amount of time they take I do have a series of knitted images that work on their own or as a collective. I also don't see the project as being over. Due to the source material it has the potential to continue indefinitely in terms of creating more knitted images, developing existing knits into 3D or creating more drawn imagery around the subject and responding to them. 

I've also looked at both natural and man-made landscapes. I originally wanted to focus on the natural landscape and look at the man-made if there was time. However by pursuing them both I became responsive to the variation between the natural and man-man landscape. The differences in feel, composition and colour. This led me to focus on each separate for a period of time and then finally bring this work together in later work surrounding bournemouth by looking at areas combining man-made and natural, whilst again focussing on arrangement of buildings within a more natural environment and limited colours.
