Lace Maps Idea

The map idea played quite a prominent role in my project

Began when I was creating my large scale piece on smaller samples

Testing on another sample with ways I could make it large scale

Attempting to see what it'd look like with layering idea

Sampling on what it would look like layered over each other

I thought the news paper that I used under cutting the shapes out with a craft knife were also quite interesting

I incorporated the outlines of the map of Manchester in my hand processes sample with population dots on it with Boule knots

Attempting wrapping fibres around wire from artist research to archive a 'laced map' shape.

Used a laser cutter to cut out shapes of an old map of Manchester
