During this week in mixed media we have completed the laser challenge. This was good to finally get to use the laser cutter, as trying to create an idea and not really understanding the laser was tricky, not really knowing what we can achieve out of this process. I have found this week tricky as have not really felt inspired by the linear drawings we did last week. I do not feel this was a good basis for the set task.

Anne Kyyro Quinn creates interior textile pieces, rich textures and striking motifs.Anne Kyyro Quinn's sculptural approach is a new genre of textiles as it is more three-dimensional rather than flat surface. I am inspired by her work as it is very natural, the shapes she creates are very organic. I feel that this element is what I most admire about her work. She mostly works with Felts, this is a lovely material to work with as it holds its shape well but yet still looks soft, not too harsh.

Ealish Wilson is a fibre artist and textiles artist, inspired by travel, fashion, photography and traditional sewing techniques. There are many quality's of her work which I am inspired by, one is the use of material.Ealish uses material which I would not myself use but work very well and look very effective. I also love the scale, though I prefer working on a small scale focusing more on detail, the large scale which Ealish works at looks stunning as her techniques turn into pattern like pieces.
Matt Shilian |
Matt Shilian creates three-dimensional sculptures, with the basis of folds. ''Guided by wonder, my work is made because I cannot visualise its final realization;'' I am fascinated by Matts work as it is so detailed by yet his techniques seems so complicated. In particular I love this piece, the colour choice is lovely, very neutral colours, making the piece look like a natural form.

Giles Miller Studios is a London based design practice, developing surface and interior design projects. I particularly like that Giles work is more relief than three-dimensional. I like this as it shows how effected relief forms can be. I also like the colour choice, the subtle cream colour makes the harsh shapes look soft, both these elements complement each other very well.
