Combining three mediums

This post is all about my final artistic challenge piece, a piece to combine textiles, photography and art. I decided that the best way to go about doing this would be to use a series of pieces in one overarching piece. I decided to create nine different fish which will all be hung from the wall. All the fish will have a backing of ply wood and each will be decorated in a different way. Three will be decorated with textiles, three with photographs and three with art.

Well, good news I have finished all the fish and assembled them in their final place. There are three columns of three fish with all of them hanging at different levels.

The finished piece

Going through the fish from left to right in the top row you have, a photograph of a breaking wave, a blend of watercolours and a photography of the sky and sea. 

In the middle row you have a fish decorated in wet felt, an ink drawing which was then "coloured " with various blue pastels, and various pieces of paper which were scrunched up and a pastel run along the very tips.

On the bottom row you have a photography of the sea and sand, a fish covered in white fleecy fabric and a blue lacey bow, and a fish covered in rosettes of hand dyed fleece.

This completes my artistic challenge, speak soon.
