Ive just been continuing my devoreing today in order to bulk up my exhibition samples. I felt that my original red devore sample length was succesful it would look good as a pair for the exhibition, so using the mahogany brown length Ive decided to do another one with the blocked out squares acting as 'photographs'. The green one you can see behind ive experimented with the finger print idea of the names of the workers. It wouldve posed too difficult to write the names of each individual worker so i decided to use a dot like formation symbolising a fingerprint (identity) and then for the exhibition display i will layer it with an actual asatate with the names of the spinners from Hotspur, and this will hopefully be a subtle way to explain my concept.
Layering is particularly important to display my concept, it symbolises the build up of Hotspur itself, all of my materials are very symbolic, the fact that asatate is see through links back to workers being looked through and not really seen/poor working conditions within the mill. Using Devore as a medium, physically is taking away the pile of the velvet which is symbolic in the way that i'll use my photos and have workers coming through the fabric, almost as if they were coming through into the family home. Velvet a rich and expensive fabric for the mill owners, being eaten away slowly.
