A thoroughly excellent tutorial with Vanda. We chewed the fat about my progress review and came up with the following action plan. I am now in high good humour!
Women's Work: (Unseen) - Jam Cover Collection
1. Photograph all jam covers individually
2. Scan one on white paper, and one on grey paper. Decide which works best.
3. Do rest likewise.
4. Find out how to make professional looking photobook.
- Look up Photobox and other similar companies
- Consider size of print relative to page
- Consider matt or gloss pages
- Consider whether script to be included
- Consider whether script to be black/grey/.....
- Consider whether to have individual letters in colour
(what about the letter O in colour, as circles are important to me?)
- Find the graphics tutor and ask where their students get their art books made.
- Consider whether images are on both sides of pages; facing page only; script one
side and image facing; single images only; double layered images .....
Women's Work: (Upholstery) - Part of the Furniture collection
5. Make the upholstered chair less obvious, focus on the message
6. Look up Timorous Beasties
7. Clarify meaning of subversive and subliminal
8. Stitch works on arms.
9. Consider stitching white on white, or grey on white .....
10. Consider type of print and placement of stitch
11. Consider difference of functional object - v - work about a functional object
12. Print images from Made.com website. My object does not need to function.
13. Consider different stool shapes (chairs might be too difficult to upholster - keep it
simple).I like the idea of a round stool - there are many circles in women's work
in the kitchen.
14. What about a two legged stool? (Women might need an upholstered stool to sit
down and rest, but we would not want them to be comfortable!) What about
some balls embroidered with messages,so they can be kept in the air at the same
time?!
15. Create sketchbook with images of different furniture.
16. Consider footstool styling
17. Find format of stool
18. Implication of depth of padding
19. All round - different print; different legs; different depth of padding; different placement of print.
Women's Work: (Unending) - Roller Towel Collection
16. What about a round tea towel?
17. Uniform becomes design - therefore don't do uniform
18. What about perspex rollers? The towel is the message, not the roller.
Rollers to be anonymous
19. Find out how to make roller towel fabric authentic. Contact Initial, or Ebay?
20. Authentic cloth.
How to print? Screen printed; sublimination print; just stitch?; no print;
print stripes on;
21. How much imagery? One, several, multiple? Even or uneven?
22. Confusion and jumble. Look at Tilleke Schwartz - use of space and busy-ness.
Not much to do then!
