Rug Maker

The project so far

By anna • July 26, 2012

Apart from image gathering via the Facebook group one of my key objectives of this module of the MA has been to reconnect with MY imagery, so I started to do my own visual research to contribute to the group.

I wanted to create something more than photographs and sketches I wanted to build a creative project…..but I got stuck….I had forgotten my working design method. But with a little help and a nudge in the right direction I rediscovered my passion for collage and the freedom and fluidity that that design method allows me to work.

From that point forward I was smitten with the photocopier and then terribly excited about creating a colour palette and so once again I retraced my creative path and found myself in the print room, mixing pastes and generally playing.  The work produced in the print room got me really enthused, but I didn’t just want to use my photocopies I wanted to want to draw, so I began to draw and mark make using silk screens, and was amazingly relieved to find my “handwriting” coming back and I FINALLLY felt a sense of “ownership” over the project.

And here are just a few images…..
