BFA Portfolio: Week 5









          Working with spotlights had been on my mind a lot, and this was no different. Working with textiles is a wonderful way for me to feel more creative because of the way light interacts with these fabrics. The neutral colors are just another plus side of this sanded satin fabric. It has since changed, but this weeks experiments were definitely a favorite. I also decided that it was time to get over my fear of tangled yarn (mainly because it's pretty tangled now and I'm too lazy to fix it because it does look cool). Wrapping yarn around a large ambiguous form was also something that I wanted to do for that week to see how it would fit in with my work.
          This was the week when it was pointed out most that I have many rules and regulations for my work. I think that just goes back to me being a very restrictive person. I feel more comfortable when rules are in place, and if there aren't any in the beginning, I'm bound to make them along the way when I get into a rhythm.

Brining together all of the aspects of art that I find most pleasing in work Ambiguous shapes that are pleasing because of their unknown origin. Natural looking, also soothing to look at  The connection between humans and textiles from birth -- there is still a need for this today, for anyone. We sleep with sheets, we adorn ourselves with clo...
