Stich shapes .

I am really happy with the way these have worked out. I have made an adjustment to the colour pallet and used yellow to give the image a more positive feel. I also works well with that darker green. Because the shapes where so simple I was able to play around with the stitching more and create patterns that way. I was still time consuming but still a quicker process. However I think that these shapes are not really saying much about the female body. I think instead of having a snake section of an image I should try and go bigger so that there is more space for information. Hopefully this way the viewer will get a sense of what the image is communicating.

I decided to add pink on the experiment below because I thought the the colour pallet needed additions and I need to make it more obvious that the piece is about gender so I am going to try and get colour to help me do this. By choosing pink as well , again a feminine colour in societies eye, I hope that I am sticking to my aim. Embracing the stigmas that society has given us owing them for our own benefit and creating work that can help to change that.
