Chapter 12 Resolved Sample: Disintegration

The following two pieces are resolved samples based on inspiration from telegraph poles alongside railways:

Sample 1 Scarf in turquoise- showing applique, reverse applique, chenille and free machine stitching, indicating development of a repeat design

Sample 2 A4 piece in complementary colours, turquoise and reddy orange - showing applique, reverse applique, padding, soldering iron on Lutrador and voile, free machine and hand stitching, indicating development of the design

Prior to selecting this shape there were at least 12 design experiments in paper with other shapes which could have been developed, showing repeating and/or overlap of repeated design shapes and/or disintegration within a shape. The asymmetrical arrangement of the telegraph pole shape alongside parallel lines for the railway tracks and its application to perspective kept returning to mind.

Held up to the light the reverse applique revealed a transparent aspect where shapes were cut away
