A B S T R A C T T I M E
This week after my tutorial on thursday, I have decided to develop my work outside of my sketchbook. I have been advised this week to just really enjoy what i'm doing instead of being so rigidly sticking to my sketchbook work. Abstract work is something I have never been good at and I have always avoided it at all costs. Since I have been in weave however, I am quickly learning that not thinking too literally is key when it comes to translating my ideas into my weaving. So I gave it a good go and have produced some larger scale drawings on A3 and A2 sized paper which is unheard of with my work .
In order to loosely relate the drawings to my project I made sure I listened to my chosen music without concentrating on it too much but just as a background. I also decided to use this time as a way of figuring out my colour palette for my weft colours.
To begin my abstract work I had a look at some of Cy Twombly's pieces. I think some of his work is really beautiful and I love that he makes use of lots of colour. I found this quite inspirational and it made me want to have a go, although I feel that I've got a long way to go before I am going to be able to produce something so beautiful with an equal amount of control and lack of control.
So below are some of my pieces of abstract work
