Deforestation - Natasha Cole

 

For this project I started looking into orangutans and how their homes are being threatened by the mass production of palm oil.

Bats as Pollinators - Jazmin Johnson

Throughout this project, I researched bats and their importance within our ecosystem. I looked into many different conservations of Bats, and one which stood out the most to me was “Bats as Pollinators. This animated loop depicts the importance of pollination, and how “Bee’s have the day shift, Bats have the night shift”.

I have studied the sequence of bee pollination and how crucial it is to our natural world and ecosystem. Using textiles and sewing inspired by the natural, organic process of pollination, I have created a piece portraying the vast power one bee alone holds in the prosperity of our living world, inspired by a powerful statistic included in my image. I have really enjoyed exploring textiles and sewing for the first time across my work, incorporating machine embroidery, hand sewing, tactical composition of fabrics and using the back of my sewing work in some areas to create interesting layers, textures and lines in my image. I think my image could be seen in an educational magazine or online campaign for environmental awareness. Overall, I loved exploring textiles, a medium which is new to me, and feel I have created an impactful, interesting sequential image.
