In my final year, my main focus is looking at ocean waste and how it is effecting marine life and their habitat. I am going to highlight this in my design work by trapping plastics and other materials which are harmful to our oceans by using techniques on the Dubied knitting machine such as; weaving in, inlay, pocket fabric, tubular and guilloche (to portray washed up fishing nets & ropes) and on the domestic; e-rap, hooking up (to portray the volume of ocean waste) and eyelets (fishing nets). My colour palette will be inspired by the ocean, marine life and washed up trash including a few bright pops of colour along with darker tones. I aim to create an outcome which possesses a powerful statement, through using plastics by creating a range of samples and some hangings.
