LAUIL601 - PRACTICAL DEVELOPMENT - PAPER BANNERS

Approaching the end of the project, I experienced a transformative moment with my work. From the beginning of the research project, I have been concerned with authenticity and exercising respect to those who pioneered the community banner. Whilst the weavings attain the most traditional and industrial aesthetic, within the confines of the module time frame I would have been unable to do it justice and that felt like it would completely undermine the values of the project. As such, I have explored paper alternatives to merge the elements of textile banners and typography that I have explored, to create mock-ups for banners that could be more elaborately executed in my extended practice.
