Holly Levell: Textile

This artwork was created by Holly Levell ; She is a new young textile artist who just graduated from university of Huddersfield , This artworks called , "Supermarket stitch "These are copies of everyday products which people by made out of felt, theses pieces were created very recently whilst and after she had finished her degree. Her artwork is made for an exhibit to change the status about everyday items and see them as an art form. I have chosen to analyse this work because it caught my eye.

I have looked at other textile artist to further my understanding of her work such as; Carol griffin she also uses materials to create 3D objects .

I looked at Holly's personal website also ---> http://www.angelinthenorth.com/2012/10/16/stitching-sculptures-from-every-day-objects/  AND  http://www.wix.com/holly_levell/01#! <---- I am not sure what type of art it is apart from the obvious textile art. The work defiantly has a them which is the things you find in a supermarket, she takes a humble object and manipulates it into an art piece. The title of her work is very self explanatory. I think there is a deeper meaning for the artwork and i think it may be to get across the idea people put a lot of energy and even prize the small things in life. This artist has found her inspiration in everyday life.

The materials Holly used was felt and thread, the techniques used where patterning her  work, stitching and sewing. She creates these pieces on a sewing machine, some things are sewn by hand but the majority is sewn on the machine. I think a major skill used was patience but i also feel that  a more practical skill was being able to observe other items and create them very similarly. I think that the key elements to create Hollys pieces were cooer and shape, all the items are literal size to the things she create and all of them are handmade.

I have chosen to  look at this work because i want to explore a range of techniques such as textile and sewing , when i first saw the work i was amazed at how the food items are like exact replicas , i do not dislike anything about this work. This work has inspired me to explore with textile techniques.
