I read Ways of Seeing for this task. It was proper enjoyable. Did I decide to use any of its’ essays to direct this project? Nah. I responded to objects in my room by translating their individually elegant and random forms into what now reads like an ode to a bad cubist. In fairness I did properly observe the objects and I was deliberate with each geometric form. I did contemplate and consider how the forms created a pattern not only in my interpretation but in the form itself in its’ natural surroundings. I guess that’s just what a textile student does all the time anyway though. I reckon this task was successful and it helped me better understand how to approach and translate the world around me into compelling textiles.

It’s difficult not to make big of a project that defines the start of what I regret to think of as the rest of my life. I know, little bit intense for a two week project. In 150 words imma attempt not to feel too sorry for myself. I didn’t enjoy this project. My inspiration- Orange by Orhan Pamuk- simply led me to a path of disappointment. I couldn’t and didn’t produce any work of note, I would suggest mostly down to my newfound awful time management and tendency to overcomplicate. I hope I have learnt to keep it simple, keep experimenting and stick to my aesthetic guns. As a preliminary and unnecessary excuse my lack of experimentation is down to my lack of (I want to say funding but it really is more like) motive to spend lots of coin on potentially useless equipment. I’m usually digital okay don’t moan. Hope that doesn’t sound as pathetic as it did to write.
