A brief collection of my studies from the second project of my final year; a mini-project lasting around four weeks. I was very much still captivated by the sheer magnificance of the Peking Opera, therefore continued it's use as my visual inspiration, exploring an alternate colour palette which the costumes had to offer.
I wanted to move away from the bold, blockish lines of my previous work with the masks. I focused mainly the on marks that stitch and knitting make; forming the basis for the mask studies in my sketchbook.
I still wished to capture the entertainment element in my work, leading to the continuation of the physical mask shapes. My ideas evolved into jewellery designs - mainly necklaces - an few examples of which I have included:
This project was the first time I decided to try working with Fablon, which i really enjoyed, as you can see because it has been used to create every mask shape I worked with out of my knitting! I also experimented with crotcheting wire as well as various combinations of stitch, print, embroidery and wire work.
Although I would not consider this featured pieces as finished products, they are a worthy indication of the creative ideas I feel this project would have been capable of, given more time!
