After meeting as a collaborative group, we decided that by including a text element it would add structure and another dimension to the artwork.
As we were focusing on nature, we decided to look at Latin words associated with pollution, destruction and modification.
After researching words associated with destruction and deforestation Martine and Myself decided to look at different ways we could incorporate this into the artwork. We tried this though writing directly onto the fabric and also by stitching into it.
We both agreed that the stitched text by Martine was far more effective and gave a contrast when it came to the textures from both the fabric and the thread.
