Academic tutorial with Isabel

17 October 2019

• Weave – invention of a process
• Use weave as a new starting point
• (Dont take hot house reference too literally)
• Revisit Wendy Ramshaw’s gates and her subtle abstraction process – develop aesthetics and functionality
• Develop weave as aesthetic goal
• Focus on completing handbag before other ideas (time piece, footwear, headgear)
• Living plants – intriguing idea
• resin – bad idea
• Develop handles with handbag point of view – What should the handle be made of? What would go with this idea?? What would complement the idea?
• Invoke from hot house – shadows, pane patterns, abstract geometry, not literal shapes
• Victorian rose window – too conventional, explore abstract, subtle forms.

I really benefited from the tutorial at this point, as I realized that I had been sidetracked from my initial ‘Drawing from space’ process. It still remains one major personal goal to develop my aesthetic and visual identity through this project.
