Meeting with Mon J:

• Be more sensitive to the materials  - Sticking to the ones I have already been workign with, pushing my relationship with these materials (wool, beads), to really explore and understand their material qualities.
• How can masses of found beads and wool be used?
• Wound together, platted (rag rugs), coiled
• look at colour relationships

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Need to focus more on refining my works/ developing a stronger understanding of what that materials I have chosen can do.
• The different qualities of the wool (fluffy, thick, thin, stiff floppy), beads (size, shape, beads or buttons?)
• Considering different constructions - using thin wire, string, nailing them to the wall, glue...
• Space: on the wall, on a surface, on the floor...
• working in the centre of a space rather than responding to the corner of a wall...looks more at materials qualities and what I have opened up about that material.
• Need to make make MAKE!!!!
