C O N T E X T
After finishing my weave I have been thinking about the context of my work quite a lot. I have debated this a little both in terms of fashion and interiors. In the future I see my work going into an interior based role however, at the moment I feel that I am still learning how to get this right. Most interior textiles are coloured moderately and have neutral tones whereas my work is bright and not tasteful to everyone which I am aware of. This leads me to believe that my work would only appeal to a small market audience within interiors. When I develop my style properly however, I do think that I will be able to contextualise my work much better.
At the moment I am thinking of my work as fashion also. I started to think about it in terms of fashion as I recently purchased a jacket which had vibrant woven sleeves. I think that my work could fit well on a garment like that.
In order to develop these thoughts and contextualise my work I produced some designs for both fashion and interior and I am happiest with the result of the interior outcomes. I take the majority of my inspiration (for colours) from cultural fabrics and colour palettes. They are extremely influential to me and I think this is why I see myself working for a larger perhaps international company. (Zara for example) .
