KNITTING & IDENTITY

The art of embroidery has been the means of educating women into the feminine ideal, and of proving that they have attained it, but it has also provided a weapon of resistance to the constraints of femininity. Foreword The Subversive Stitch by Rozsika Parker

KNITTING & IDENTITY

Paradoxically, while embroidery was employed to inculcate femininity in women, it also enabled them to negotiate the constraints of femininity.

TFF Identity Project Level 1, Semester 2 Weeks 7-11 The theme of Identity encompasses a broad range of issues including cultural, political, material and individual identity. In weeks 7-11 of semester 2, you will create of body of work, which explores your chosen theme within identity. Work will focus on the techniques and approaches of one of the five pathways within TFF: Textile Art, Fashion, Textile Design: Weave, Textile Design: Knit or Textile Design: Print.

Your identity project should include considerable evidence of the research you have undertaken while exploring your chosen theme within identity, as well as evidence of how this research has informed your own work. Sketchbooks, technical files and samples should all be part of your work for this project. The manner in which your work is organized and documented needs to be appropriate to the type of work you are making and the pathway area you are working within.

During weeks 7-11, you will work in your individual studio spaces, workshops, computer lab and the library. Tutorials will be held in the TFF studio with staff from the pathway areas. Please consult the technicians in your pathway area to determine suitable times to be working in the workshops and availability of equipment.

At the conclusion of the Identity Project, you will have worked consistently in one of TFFs five pathway areas for five weeks. This project should allow you to make an informed decision regarding the pathway you will select for your level 2 and level 3 studies. It may be that after working in a pathway area for the Identity project, you determine that another area is more suitable for you, or it may confirm that you will continue to work in the same area for level 2 and level 3 of your degree.
