Our first week of knit has been an intense introduction; for the start of the week we had to compile a mood board for construct, meaning we have something to base our work off of and jump right in. I have been drawing to the colours and qualities of Ancient Egypt, especially the tones of tourquoise, ochre and crimson together. As I have been doing research, I have seen connections between the work of abstract artist Rothko, and the importance of colour symbolism in Ancient Egypt.
The knitting has been very fast paced, and as there are seemingly constant tutorials from Sue and Amy time management will be key in knit. I have enjoyed the sessions so far, yet I can feel myself getting quite frustrated with the act of machine knit. I do not find it easy to translate my research (other than colour) into construct, as I am much more figuratively based.
