Personal Brief: Indigenous Aboriginal pattern

Following on from the marks I was looking at within pattern, I want to explore the historical era of aboriginal art and from a new perspective, in their methods of producing marks. I will interpret them in my own way within the embroidery workshop and my sketchbook. I will aim to produce textured colourful outcomes using their warm earthy colours acting as my new colour palette. My primary research will come from pictures captured at the Pitt Rivers museum, which should hopefully capture the time period and its distinctive patterns.
