Water & Ice Module Two

An Icy Follow Up

So as a follow on from the first semester theme of elements I am continuing to explore the theme water and Ice. In the end of the previous semester I had decided to create a needle bonded piece of textile art based on watery landscapes. Here is what I produced:

I based these Items from the following moodboards that I created, Although the photography isn't owned by me the imagery provided me great inspiration:

The Idea was to create quite an atmospheric feel through my textile pieces. I wanted use quite typical colours within my pieces to symbolize the water and ice. By molding the purples and blues around the "ice balls" I felt it would add an extra dimension.

At the end of the module I had decided that I wanted to create a piece of textile art as my main piece with silk/polyester scarfs as my sale-able items. The pieces will be displayed as part of an exhibition. 

Taking from the previous module I new that It was key to do research and organise myself throughout the module and to really throw myself into drawing and painting first and foremost. As well as taking my own photographs.
