I used to do oil painting when I was a school girl, and I had really enjoyed doing it. After a while, I started using needles rather than paint brushes, because I became a textile student as I wished. Of course I am very happy with it, but I am sure that being in one pattern makes nothing but blandness.
I think that is why designers/artists are required various ways of expression, and which is what they always struggle with.
I do like the word exploration, because that sounds more exciting than in Japanese '試行錯誤', which sounds complicated and stressful. (it looks professional though!) At the end of any project, I often put pressure on myself, but I hardly do at the beginning, so that I can feel free to try anything, and I can get inspiration from anywhere.
For this project, I could capture lots of beauty in plants, and I saw more beautiful flowers in my classmates' photos. The funny thing is that the most of people took photos in the same place (the Glasgow botanic gardens) but still flowers look completely different. Especially photos with flush lights are interesting, as there is strong contrast of colour—yellow and black for example— between a flower and the background, and which showed the flower mysteriously.
And, I found hundreds of amazing flower-inspired dresses in designers' collections.
