Techniques
The manufacturing techniques that have been utilised
throughout the design of the wall art are all textile art techniques. Successfully meeting the set criteria.
Function
The wall hangings are all durable and abrasion
resistant with the use of double fold binding and sturdy fabric such as cotton drill. The size and weight of the design ensures the wall hangings are easily portable. During the colouration process of specific components in the design, mordants have been used to ensure the dye remains permanent. These mordants ensure that the design is not affected during general care and maintenance. Additionally, the wall hanging can be packed with ease. All of these factors have lead to a product that has optimum quality and functionality.
How to install
Through research, various methods of installation
were found. The method that was selected and implemented in the design proved to be successful.
Aesthetics and Appearance
The final aesthetics of the wall art design are finished
to a high quality. The traditional fabric dyeing
technique of Balinese Batik has been used, as it is a
technique that reflects the theme of the Balinese culture and suits the style and colour of the interior living space. All of the components included in the design are complex and intricately detailed. Materials
The selected materials utilised throughout the design
project
were
selected
following
the
constraints
outlined. A variety of both natural and synthetic fibres
of varying weights and strengths have been used. These have been selected to reinforce the notion of ecology and further ease portability. Quality
The quality of the finishings have been completed to a
high level. The stitch length is fairly consistent across the three wall hangings. Additionally, an even colour penetration has been achieved across all hand dyed fabric. Furthermore, the overall durability and quality of the wall art designs ensure that the lifespan of the wall hangings have a life beyond five years.
Budget and Timing
The timeframe set to complete this design project was
twelve weeks. The project was completed successfully within the specified time frame. Additionally, the $600 budget that was outlined in the preparation phase by the client and exhibition was successfully met with the cost of the product coming in at $528.14.
