Niamh Lucey Portfolio - Colour and Emotion

Colour and Emotion








 
My A2 Art project is based around the theme of colour and emotion. Meaning how wearing a bright or dull colour can effect a persons mood. I developed my project by experimenting with colour in both the wax crayon piece above and the felt samples I made. These were done by mixing wool on a felting paddle to create  the desired colours. All of these experimental pieces have helped my project  to transform into a final piece. My final piece is a skirt suit made out of mismatched ties. This is representative of my whole theme of colours and emotions, also the fact  that ties are seen as a formal item of clothing, being transformed into something more fun and thought provoking.  The skirt, so far, is made up of 30 ties, all hand stitched together (totalling to about 50 hours work!) to create a character filled piece of artwork, as well as  a fully functional garment. Along the back of the skirt there are buttons with a lace panel to add detail. The skirt is still in the making process although it  is nearly finished with just the waistband and buttonhole loops to complete. The other garments in my final piece will consist of a suit jacket made in a similar way, but on a machine this time and a shirt made out of a variety of parts of different shirts, again following the theme of emotions and colour effects on different people. This project is still underway but will hopefully be complete by February so I can then move onto my final A2 project.
