‘Culture’ can be interpreted in different ways. My interpretation of the word ‘culture’ is about the way of life of a nation of people- their traditions, customs and attitudes , which are factors contributing to making individual countries unique.
I am now finished my culture project so i thought i would post up some of the work I did during the last couple of months. Overall I am pleased with what I produced and I enjoyed translating work from my sketchbook onto fabric. The process of translating onto fabric was probably the most enjoyable part of the project - experimenting with knit, weave, mixed media and Print. Colour and pattern were the most important aspects for me so I concentrated mainly on colour compositions, and focused more towards an exploration of colour relationships, therefore I was able to translate aspects from my sketchbook as abstractly as I wanted. I looked at the work of Mark Rothko, Kate Blee and Ptolemy Manns for more inspiration as my approach and style show similarities to their work.
As I progressed through my development I realised Interior was most suited to my work. When looking through interior books and magazines I wanted an image which reflected the authentic atmosphere and environment of Turkish culture.
These are four of my final presentation boards, showing my inspiration and development process. The boards show what I thought was my best work aswel as trying to illustrate my thought process.
This is my final board - showing my two final samples in context. As i mentioned above, I wanted images which reflected the authentic atmostphere and environment of Turkish culture. I knew I wanted to have a bright colour palette as the bright, strong colours of the Turkish culture were a major inspiration for me.
