Based on my adventure (and constraints) I am moving forward with the fabric abstractions in a more of a 2-D form. This has really gotten the wheels churning, in terms of thinking about shape, proportion, representation of the figure and body image. I am surprised at the circle / correlation that’s occurred. I originally started out with a book illustration concept and have now come round to illustrating in / on fabric , also using thread as a medium for line. For final presentation, I believe that I will be borrowing from Louise Bourgeios and binding the compositions together in book format. Also, without necessarily realizing it, I have tapped into one of the threads that tied the 3 artists in my virtual exhibit together: roots in, the reference to the figure via abstraction.
This had definitely been quite a challenge for me. I am used to thinking, writing and producing in a very commercial way
