Weave/Construct Data Collection week three



Manchester Museum spark of inspiration

stone found in drain
Grid/ Floorings of interest
 
 
 
 
During my visit to the Museum, I branched out my developments as I became interested towards two large carved pieces of stone. These pieces dated back to 1821 and was discovered in Hulme, Manchester by builders digging an ancient temple (Mithraeum). This was then the spark of my new direction in the collection brief finding these two pieces of carved stone lead me to taking rubbings off grids, staues, flooring etc the stones and began to focus more on patterns and textures. The link between this was grids as each one has its own unique design and I wish to incorporate this design within my weaving samples.
