The new FIBRESPACE THEME is " DABULOUS" ( dabbling in the fabulous) and we also have the addition of ... sisu ya taito (persistence, resilience and skill ) the latter being offered by our visitors from Lapland.
There is also the added requirement that the piece needs to fit into a suitcase and resemble the page of a book, magazine or journal.
FIBRESPACE is moving into new territory with a collaboration with artists from Lapland.
The group is also preparing to use the internet more often as platform for sharing the work of its artists and so I will use this blog to describe my process for the piece I develop.
Without giving too much away, as my thoughts grapple with new ideas, I have begun the process of developing my own fabric designs that I will have printed and available for use in my piece.
These "patch work" designs build on a previous experiment using the iPad to create design blocks.
I used Procreate to create some simple , repetitive designs then imported the images into my Photoshop program and experimented with changing the hue so that I have a range of complimentary designs to use.
I have also taken this a step further by reducing the size of the blocks and again changing the hue to give even greater variety but still keeping everything within the "AUTUMN" colour spectrum.
