The Making and Showing of Sad Clown Self-Portrait

Hey Folks,

Here is a brief overview of my final degree show piece-

Sad Clown Self-Portrait

  •  Final Degree show peice

  • Weaving on Jacquard power loom at the University.
 
  • For larger peices I would divide the design up into a number of sections/ panels.

  • I then weave off each panel, machine embroider them and stretch each panel onto wooden frames. Hanging each panel next to eachother to create the image.

Final Piece hung at degree show
