Having returned to Manchester to start second year, our first tutorial had us presenting our summer work to a couple of people in groups. In doing this we pointed out the strengths and weaknesses in each other's work and how we could improve and progress further with our work.
I found this very helpful. Getting feedback from your peers can be quite daunting but I found that I learned a lot about the way I like to work. I also learned about different artists that could help influence me in the future.
During my feedback I discovered that most of my work follows the same pattern. Many pieces of my work show that I like unpredictability. I can get this effect by using water and inks or water colours (photographed below).

Throughout my presentation to the rest of the group, the use of hand stitch in my drawing was commented on several times. As this is my specialised area I felt that over the summer it was important to follow this through in my work. With hand stitch, I feel that this emphasises my desire for unpredictability. Photographed below is an example of where I have done this.
