Exploring Colour and Compostion

Matthew Harris

'Lantern Cloth'- Matthew Harris

Matthew Harris is a textile artist who uses dying, cutting and hand stitching. Harris creates
his pieces using these methods and explores colour, repetition and pattern to produce a
textured surface to his work. I particularly like this piece as he has worked directly on to
cloth and created an abstract image that includes a range of marks and block colour that
exaggerate this piece. Focusing on certain objects, I created a series of pieces that link to
Harris' work, focusing and experimenting on colour and compositions. I wanted to limit my
colour palette so I focused only on a few colours and textures.
