Transparency

S E E    T H R O U G H 

After having a tutorial I have begun to look at some weave artists and I have come across work from Jan Garside.  The reason I am looking at her work is because she uses lots of transparency and after using bits of acetate in my sketchbook to convey the transparency of water, I feel that this relates. 

Her work seems fine and reminds me of water. I like the interesting yarns she uses and the fact her weaving shows movement. 

I have been trying to think of other ways to display transparency in my work and one of these is through using goose fat on paper (which makes it see through). I tested a lot of this but no photographs would show how messy it was. The fat when used on a paintbrush, was extremely difficult to draw with. In fact it was almost impossible to control.

Above are my own awful attempts. 

This image above is 'Fat Drawing' by Daksha Patel. This was the inspiration for my own drawings however after attempting several times I found this process so messy and it just didn't work for me. 

Ive still been thinking about this concept of infinite sound waves travelling under water, and I have thought about the idea of mirrors to display infinity.. and also circles. I am not yet sure if I'm going to think about this more in depth yet but its some food for thought.
