Joana Vasconcelos

During the first week of unit X I visited Manchester Art Gallery in order to see an extraordinary exhibition by Joana Vasconcelos. I was not disappointed with what I saw. Her work was scattered all around the gallery, however I paid to see some of her bigger pieces like 'Lilicoptere'.

The glamour and the presence of it inspired me to great lengths. The interior and exterior is rather magnificent, and has given me several ideas that will aid me in this project. It has influenced me in terms of texture, colour but above all her work has inspired me to be flamboyant. 

Glitter, feathers and sequins galore, Joana Vasconcelos has definitely given me the confidence to develop my design ideas. I intend to create a collection that combines a range of techniques, from knit to weave and embroidery, utilising them in a way that will fully represent my theme and concept.
