I have been continuing to try an capture movement, through paintings, but have began thing to think more in a three dimensional way this week as what I create will be something that can be touched and move around, hopefully more interesting than a flat drawing. I have thought back to my brief and the themes as I have been getting a bit carried away with experimenting with new ideas. I chose the theme organic and synthetic, this idea of creating something very natural like water and waves, with something very unnatural like plastics. Thinking back to this made me think of how I can create natural three dimensional shapes with flat surface, so while experiment with this it has helped me to find the connection with my paintings and knit, using techniques like hooking up to create this layered look.

Something else that I experimented with that I did not find as helpful. I took a risk by first layering up lots of textures, fabric masking tape etc, them on top layered lots of colour to them print the colour onto itself, this tuned out just almost looking a mess, the idea and image behind it was not achieved at all. Though it does not look appealing this idea of playing around with fabric to create texture was helpful.
