engResearch statement
My research process involves old and new technologies to highlight the value of traditional women’s art practices. Following years of painting from a traditional western male tradition of art, engaging in traditional ‘women’s art’, I now engage materiality, aesthetic considerations, techniques and processes of knitting, weaving and stitching. In doing so I am exploring form in a similar way (qualities of line and other form) but I now also embody traditional processes that were the first taught to me as a child. The creative process/arts led research process of this particular work (and approximately 12 more) started with knitting a dress in a rogue knitting way without pre-drawing using fine threads and wires. The form and image are emergent in this process depending on my location, aesthetic persuasion, and the materiality process. I then photograph these works, digitally manipulate them to highlight the qualities of line, tone and other form that has emerged. I print these on aluminium to best capture them as an x-ray of a surface-body form rather than inner body form.Publication classification
