Willow & Organic Canvas







I have been working on trying to combine the two materials of willow and the organic canvases from the Beckwithshaw School visit together. I have struggled to find a concept that works. I stripped and flaying the willow; an instinctive process that appropriates mankind’s impulse to explore the characteristics of organic materials. How will the materials work for us, how can we use the material to survive!

Through the process of stitch I combined the two materials together. None of the work seems to succeed and  feel that I am not achieving anything of significance! However, the process has highlighted the reason why I am drawn to the action of “piercing” materials.
