Exhibition research: Civic in Barnsley

I went to view the 'knitwear' exhibition at the Civic in Barnsley. And these are a selection of photograph's I took of different pieces I saw there which I liked.

'decade by decade, this incredible collection charts over 100 years of knitwear history. it is the first exhibition of it's knid to explore not only the key designers but also technical innovations in hand, machine and industrial knitting. knitwear in fashion is often taken for granted, but this exhibition is an opportunity to celebrate knitwear center stage and inspire future design directions.'

Project: Here and Now: Artist Research: Lesley Richmond

Lesley Richmond was born in cornwall in the south of england, and she recieved her art teachers training in London, England and her MEd in America.

''Lesley Photographs trees, focusing on the intricacy of their branching structures and then prints these images on cloth, using a medium that creates a dimensional surface. She then eliminates selected background areas, leaving the structural images of trees as the dominant feature. The images are then painted with metal patinas and pigments.''

Lesley Richmond's work relates to my projects because of her use of textiles, which was the main outcome of my project as I produced a cushion cover.

Tips: Pinterest.

When I first started studying art I found it really difficult to find out all the information I needed for my projects, until I started using Pinterest. Pinterest is really easy to use and amazing for finding new artists to look at, I just search 'artist' or 'textile artist' and most posts have the artist name in the description and a link to the website the post was sourced from.

Really easy and really usefull.

Artist Research: Andreas Lie

I cant find much out about Andreas Lie for now, but if I do I'm going to make sure I record it somewhere.

Website: http://artbylie.tumblr.com/

I had trouble only picking a few piece to post because they're all amazing, plus most of them are of animals that I love and most include beautiful landscapes, which makes it even harder to choose just a couple, but maybe in the future I can look more into Andreas Lie.
