Lost in Lace

Lost in Lace is an exhibition in Birmingham which draws attention to the themes explored and created throughout cultural associations of lace.

The exhibition was really inspiring and some of the pieces where extremely beautiful and meaningful, I really loved looking into the meanings of the lace designs which the artists put together about each piece.

Here are some of my favourite pieces created by a selection of international textiles based artists...

This my favourite piece from the exhibition by Michael Brennand-Wood
This is a piece of "Military Lace" symbolizing war and conflict, the imagery draws attention to lace, weaponry and  Rorschach test. I find the piece very interesting, the overall look is very intricate and intense which is something that really intrigued me to look more closely at the images being put together.

The start of my "Cast" research


I really like these circular detailed drawings; 
they look very intricate.





These floral designs are something I'd like to create in my own designs,
I like the delicate flowers and the bold outlines they've been given.
