This project (although it has not finished completely for the Pop Up groups) I feel has been a completely new challenge for myself. Working in a group for 6 weeks, with a refined outcome in mind has been stressful, exhilarating and rewarding for all of our practices. I feel that analysis within a group and establishing roles has been an intensive learning curve for my own creative practice and work ethic. I have learned so much about myself in terms of how I work through physical experimenting both 2D and 3D to digital manipulation on Photoshop.
The broad nature of this project has enabled us to 'dip our hands in all the pots' so to speak, as I have experimented with structure and scale briefly in a mixed media medium at the beginning, and then through embroidery, print and decisions of what context our work should fit. Digital printing has been exciting, and I am now currently working on the finishings for the bandanas as well as some subtle embroidery applications to add texture to our already vibrant bandanas. It will be exciting next week to see how we work as a group in the final stages of finishing products and curating our pop-up space in the Unit X exhibition.

From this project I have become much more aware of the importance of finishing and the decisions of colour balance within a collection. Time management is key in any project, solo or collaborative and this is something I must work on to ensure I have time to fix any uncontrollable mishaps which are bound to happen with the nature of life. I am proud of the work I have produced and may potentially develop my work with the bandanas further over the coming months.
