Artists who use thread

The main composition of this piece resembles a newspaper, which inspires my journey as I found an extract from newspapers at the time Rangoon came to an end, and I find the article quite moving, and by using thread to represent it seems quite fitting, as its fluid and delicate, and can easily be destroyed. Just like how Rangoon was burnt down to avoid being taken over by the enemy.

The old and weathered diagram is slightly stained beige to show how old it is and there's varying thicknesses of thread, to represent different veins and artaries. The piece is called red rivers and the whole piece trails down towards the ground.

This piece by Kazuhito grabs my attention because of the simplicity and neatness of the piece. The brown leaf is contrasted by the grey thread and the thicker lines are reflected with the neat lines, and the veins of the leaf are mimicked by the thin more branched random threads underneath the other lines.

'Journey' ideas

Image
'Journey' ideas At first, I was thinking of doing my journey on biology and the development of cells and evolution, but as I've thought about that I don't think I could put enough emotion into it, so I want to base this 'journey' on something more personal and to do with my family. I'm going to start the ball rolling by looking at the history and life timeline of my great grandad, who had a very tough journey to make towards the end of his life, the Burma trek in 1942. I have some family records of this and I've done some research but I need to look more towards the artists in the country and in the same time period, as well as artists who expressed themselves about making life changing decisions, to the physical and emotional pain he would have had to have gone through, up to expression frustration almost as a family of today trying to look back at his history but there being minimal records. I found an article with contains a video showing el...

Experiments continued

Image
The second workshop we did was printing, we did monoprints (addition, subtraction and relief), collographs and embossing. For the collographs and embossing we used a press. This piece i did on some old music paper I had, I used subtraction monoprinting and I dampened the paper and this was the look I got in the end. This piece I did on dry paper using addition monoprinting, This is my favourite piece by far as it slightly resembles a face, and has a mysterious feel to it. This was the final outcome of the experiments I did on printing, the top 2 are monoprints and the bottom 2 are collogrpahs. I did a small print of an eye on top using relief monoprinting, the middle piece is the plate I used for the collograph, and ther bottom one is a emboss of the above stamping plate.

Background of final developments

Image
Map development for background of final During my research, I came across a website (angloburmeselibrary.com) where I found many more documents and information I wanted to incorporate into my final piece. One main piece of information I found was a map showing evacuation routes on foot from Burma to Assam, India. This map intrigued me as its all hand written and contains so much detail, and someone would of had to draw this out, and in 1942, I assume it would be rather difficult to plan to evacuate a whole city, so although its just a map at first glance, the marks made represent the emotion of the artist who created it, and how some of the towns names are scribbled and messy, whereas some are neat in capitals. This shows a variation in the marks created.  I want to incorporate this map onto the background of my piece, on canvas, I've gone several trials on different backgrounds to come to the conclusion of which background would be best. I tried drawing the map over white acr...
