Although I will not be working with furniture directly with furniture, my inspiration for the shapes will come from furniture. Such as the rounded top of a chair, the right angles and smooth edges of where a leg of a table connects to the top etc...
Susan Collis is one my my favourite artist that I have found this year, I think her work is so beautiful. I thing I find most fascinating is how much time and effort is spent on the pieces even though this is not obvious. I want to achieve the same quality finish for my final piece, doing intricate weaving on the creases of the leather. Small patches where I have worked hard to develop the surface, in places where it is not obvious to the viewer making them have to look harder and closer at my work.
