Assignment 2 Weave test piece further development
This test piece began as a weave formed using strips of fabric from recycled mens' shirts. I had intended that all the test pieces would be 'pared back' in terms of colour and motif. This was an exploration of a number of technical questions. How would paint work on top of fabric? What type of paint would work and did the fabric need primed before hand? Would other media work with the paint and the fabric support? Considering the support - as the weave was first constructed in a frame - could it stay in the frame or could it be removed and hang free/be suspended rather than framed?
