Final outcome

My final outcome from my project came from photos i had taken on my journey to university on the tram, i took a photo out the window of the tram at every stop from when i got on to the last stop i was on till and from that i choose to use the skills learnt in my machine embroidery workshop to recreate one person from each stop waiting for the tram. I used a see through thin grey fabric to show the effect of me looking through the tram window and black thread to create the figures of people they are disfigured and i have left the threads hanging to show that its an unfinished view as some photos were not clear taken from through the tram window. My inspiration came after seeing the work of Rosie James - 'Rosie describes her pieces as stitched paintings, and the subjects of her paintings tend to be visitors of places – museums, train stations, supermarket. She has aterrific eye for detail and her technical skill in recreating human behaviour in stitched form is remarkable, catching snapshots of people on the move, and minding their own business.'
