Joey Yu is a recent graduate of Kingston University and is one of Varoom magazines graduates of 2017. This project surrounds the topic of anti-assimilation. The project investigated the restrictions, hidden culture and identity. The outcomes consisted os a banner and items of clothing. I really like how simple and spontaneous they are. She uses just one colour and simple tools to draw the images. It looks like she has used ink and this has allowed her to incorporate textures and different quality of lines easily into the image. The addition of writing is an interesting idea. It helps explain the images and creates a clear narrative. Incorporating different scales works, it helps the design has depth and larger block shapes allow for breaks between t the more detailed part of the images. Wall hagging is a strong way of displaying work on fabric. It is hard with base materials such as fabric to display them well but wall hangings allow for the whole design to be seen and it can be adapted to any scale. I need to consider the way she has approached working with fabric and how her designs are not complicated and still communicate a strong message.
