I am pleased with my day's work setting out to present some of my knit samples from the preceding week's workshop.
My usage of J-Cloths, plastic bags and rubber washing gloves aimed to explore the domesticated image of the female. I am happy with the exploration; it has a physical/ tactile appeal as well as an emotional/ intellectual importance.
I would like to further explore stitching paper towels and J-Cloths together but am pleased enough with the sample displayed in my sketchbook.
I attempted sketching onto paper towels were but felt this was unsuccessful. The slightly blurred effect given by the absorbed ink looked good but the overall look felt fussy and irrelevant.
I feel my illustrative sketch of the traditional/ stereotypical domestic housewife could be bolder although I do like the overlapping, layered quality it has.
The use of blue works towards my exploration of gender stereotypes in that "blue is boy" and "pink is girl". I like the contrast between the domestic/ feminine imagery of my sketch and the heavy blue masculine tone.
