Textile art

I am keeping my sketch book most days capturing scenes and objects I find interesting for this parallel project. After Assignment 1, I am thinking about trying to develop something using textiles, sewing, glueing or mixing medium and see what happens.

I like looking at these artists work:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grayson_Perry

I like how they use so many patterns and colours and yet, it is still engaging to look at. It tells a story. Grayson Perry is very conceptual and so is the work of Njideka. I am now looking more on how they apply textiles and the compositions.

My Sketche book :

I am thinking of trying to transfer one of these drawing into a fabric, or trace it and use textiles to achieve a similar image.
