Deluna- Final Project Documentation

My idea for this final project built off of the weaving I had made previously. I aimed to explore forms I could create through the use of wires in the weaving. I also wanted to focus on the textures and colors of the piece. I planned to create a single large piece out of multiple weavings.

I’d like to consider my process pretty organic, as I make decisions about what I am doing as I am doing it. Usually the planning I put into a project is minimal because I have found that I rarely ever end up with what I thought I would have started with.

At first I tried to experiment with the forms in the weaving. Instead of keeping with the straight lines, I attempted to create waves and bumps in the patterns of my weaving. However, I found that this took too much of my focus, and the colors, textures and overall feeling of my weaving was lacking. So, I went back to what I felt was most natural, the straight lined stripes, and I enjoyed working on that much more.

As I created the multiple pieces, I realized that they would work better apart rather than together. I thought they looked better as independent parts in a set.

Despite being the final project, the pieces I created have served as further inspiration. I am very interested in creating these type of pieces at a much larger scale, probably with a different type of loom.
