Erin, I really like your idea of using tiny silk fibres to create a form. Your samples of silk fibres looked so delicate and reminded me of strands of hair or a wispy spider web. Your colours are also very beautiful! I love how you have achieved a sepia tone in your samples and this colour works really nicely against the softness of the pink and purples samples. Maybe you could try weaving, knotting or platting these small fibres to create a string or form (maybe a nest or pod-like shape?)
Erin, I looove how you want to incorporate the photography within your project. From just having you on Instagram I have witnessed your enjoyment in taking photos of the beautiful work that you have been doing. By taking these photographs, you are creating a whole new depth into what your works can look like. Also, your works have always been so soft and delicate and therefore make great features in photography. I would even recommend experimenting with editing the photos once you have taken them, so you are taking this creative and destructive direction even further. I know it isn't a requirement of this current project, but after being in class with you for three years now and knowing you pretty well, your work has become so distinctive to me, I can tell it is yours almost straight away. I don't want you to direct yourself away from your art, as I think it is so beautiful and really suits you but what would be interesting is if you did abit of brainstorming on why you like to create these delicate, feminine pieces. I think that approaching your works in a conceptual way may help you explore deeper into this direction that you are taking as an artist and this deepness can come out in your works.
Similar to Emma, I am so excited about the possibility of you employing photography into your final installation! I have seen some of your photos that you have taken while documenting previous works and I think that you definitely have the ability to enhance your final installments with photos. I think that it is also really interesting that you are focusing on the underlying story of the pieces and I think conceptually this is a strong foundation and also it is effective materially if the sample has the same foundation or basis which is manipulated and enhanced individually!
The technique of burying the samples is also a really interesting technique that can have really interesting outcomes and I am already like the sepia colours that are being produced. Maybe you could experiment with some bolder colours such as turmeric dyes to create an interesting contrast with the samples?

Can’t wait to see the final work!
