Surface Design Experiments

Research #1 S uzani source: https://www.christies.com/en/stories/a-guide-to-suzani-textiles-9cf74aa2a759435ebf8914e4e14b8bc9 This fabric surface pattern originated from nomadic tribes in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries. These fabrics are highly collectable and valued for their craftsmanship. Suzani originates all the way back from the 15th century. It not only holds symbolic significance, as it was used by brides and their mothers as dowry, but it was also traditionally used in yurts with several different purposes. The intricate patterns on these textiles are accomplished by using a loom, patterns are drawn out and final details are embroidered on. These pieces were most commonly made in two parts, once each side was completed, the sides were sewn together. Natural dyes traditionally from plants and vegetables were used, in the present day, synthetic dyes are more common. ______ Research #2. Image. Can have more than one image. The histor

A Few Of My Favorite Things

A Few Of My Favorite Things 1) Lighter- There are a few things that I will always have on me, one being a clipper lighter.

I never take it off (except for this picture), and its well made and comfortable to wear.

I wear it now as a reminder of how hard work pays off. It also reminds me of all the fun times I had. The stone in the middle is my birthstone and each side has an engraving. One is a cro

Touch Response

Touch Response Title: "FireLight" By Sarah Winfree Dimensions: Digital Medium: Camera "A hand moves with a complex precision that's irreplaceable... Because we use out hands so often for so many purposes, flexing, bending, gripping..."(Ackerman 117) This photograph I took relates to the "touch" section of Ackerman's book, because of the proximity of the hand to the fire. In this picture you can see the hand gripping a cigarette. Another reason I chose to use this picture for this assignment is because when I think of touch, the first word that comes to mind is heat, and how like a flame, a touch is warm. In the book A Natural Journey of the Senses , Ackerman also discusses the intimacy of touch, which is often compared to a flame rising up inside someone. Title: "A Snake in The Hand" Dimensions: Digital Medium: Camera "Touch is a powerfully important sense among animals, for whom the slightest touch of an object or another anim
