The Latest Artwork and Other Creations from Louisa Giffard
Displaying Posts Containing the Keyword 'major project'This piece is probably about 45cm square perhaps. It took three weeks.
I'm not sure where the idea came from, but I had to do a project that incorporated some kind of stitching for textiles at uni.
So I built on my Beth Gibbons embroidery into some crazy multilayered eye embroidery applique.
It's not actually very easy to photograph or scan because it's not a perfect square.
I decided to play on the richness of patterned fabrics - brocades, silk charmeuses, burnout velvets and shimmering satins and silks, combined with the dazzling bejewelled effect of both stylised and more realistic eyes.
Hopefully you enjoy it more than my teachers did. The textiles teachers are really quite harsh, and one of them seemed to think I didn't display the necessary commitment even though I spent THREE WEEKS non stop doing this! I'm actually seriously considering transferring workshops - even though I love the work in textiles I'm really not sure I can keep on for another two and a half years with such critical and demanding teachers.
Oh well..I'm proud even if they aren't.
