The following is a concise (150 words - very difficult) overview of the body of work I would like to produce during my MA study. I have changed it already... from the areas of fashion/haute couture to interiors/installation, chance for a change.
'My personal aims relating to my own
practice during the MA include; to investigate new
technology, mechanisation & computerisation to produce innovative
embroidery designs/samples together with the exploration of non-traditional materials & 3D techniques within the
craft of embroidery. I intend to produce a collection of embroidery & embellishment samples
investigating, not least, the notion of scale and 3D elements. I should like to discover how to instill my work with
characteristics that evoke emotional responses. I
will research current ethical and cultural issues that directly inform and
relate to my specific interests initially focusing on ‘Dark Tourism’; a form of
macabre pilgrimage in which people journey to sites redolent with death or
disaster to emotionally connect. I intend to extend and develop my limited skills regarding
conceptual thinking, whilst still producing highly aesthetically pleasing
outcomes specifically for high-end interiors/installation market. To do this I
will engage with primary research sources leading to a deeper understanding
of theoretical
issues raised. An integral aim is to communicate my ideas and intentions in a clear, concise, exciting and
confident manner whilst critically analysing and evaluating my work on an
ongoing and in depth basis, generating a valuable, constructive, personal
resource to inform future planning and problem solving.'
My 5 keywords are: Fragmentation, Dark Tourism, Discarded, Forgotten & Remains; lets see how they change...
