FMP

After having the FMP presentation about what is expected for my final project, I believe I have many ideas which could be successful. Producing a garment for my exhibition is important to me and I know for definite this will be in my exhibition, its just what theme I choose to work with.

My main idea, after visiting the brewery, is to work with the buildings and the objects and atmosphere I felt inside. I am still unsure whether to investigate the history of drinking in the North West and the societies attitude towards drinking. I want to enhance and develop my previous work with derelict buildings and link the project strongly to the brewery. I hope to use some of the typography from inside the brewery and want to experiment and develop this.

Experimentation is essential, I am thinking of distressing surfaces, similar to some of the surfaces I found within and on the external walls of the building. The key aspect throughout my work will be the brewery as a building and its history, whether I explore other options such as the economic crisis and how this has affected the industry, is still uncertain. I am excited to be working with something I enjoy and am passionate about and plan to preserve a part of the decaying buildings history in the form of fashion. Working with the environment around me and places of interest is exciting for me.
