Looking into accessibility to supermarkets; It became a stressful and scary situation for the blind. Not wanting to go to the shop due to accessibility issues, change of space, 2m rule, relying on others and no touch. Looked into what was provided by supermarkets in response to their actioning and campaigning. Not all supermarkets have given much change or help for the blind making one of the few activities still possible a scarier experience. Issues with social distancing and not being able to feel their way around the supermarket some of the many challenges they faced.

# data[].attributes.body
Supermarkets brought in actions such as coloured tape around separation barriers, 2 meter stickers on the floor and more directly applicable things for the blind such as volunteer shop card and the hidden disability lanyard to be recognised in stores. The essence of the shop card could be something to look into further as is an element of friends and family helping those who can’t go shopping. Reduces the blind’s ability but brings in a stronger sense of community and connection to loved ones? https://www.rnib.org.uk/connect-community/connect-news-and-stories/essential-supermarket-information-and-updates

After some finding it hard to go to the shops I thought about the process of cooking and how interaction and socialisation over meal time has been reduced too. Important to me during lockdown and family; sharing a meal can be family time for some. Interested in the accessibility of cooking for the blind- found an article on RNIB website about the tools used to help the blind and also everything that has to be considered and learnt when blind on the website Perkins school for the blind.  https://www.perkinselearning.org/activity/cooking-and-kitchen-tools

On their connecting the community lifestyle section of the website they had an article on the famous US blind chef Christine Ha. She has set up a website with her recipes and experiences of being blind and spoken on TedX about blindness. In one interview she talks about her mum’s beef noodle soup and how she didn’t get the recipe before she passed away. Everytime she tries to recreate the soup she relies on her other senses and imagines what its going to look like. 'Comfort food is what matters the most, its something that reminds of childhood, brings back memories, makes you feel sentimental of the past'. This thought is something that could be quite prevalent in the way I take this into the project incorporating meals, memory dependency and its social element when blind.

RNIB website had an article on the London Restaurant ‘Dans le noir’ so people can experience being blind . Heightening the senses by people dining in the dark not knowing whos next to them or what they're eating. It made me think more about what an experience of dining becomes more without sight and when memory and other senses are relied upon. By the fact that a 'high class dining experience' has a key sense taken away to give an appreciation of what the blind experience made me think about what the same experience would be for regular meals and at local café/grease up etc. the idea of this beautiful looking food in where the customer can't see it makes it a bit odd? I am focusing mainly on the idea of sharing the experience with friends and family, connecting memory and experience to the blind.

I looked into the history of gift wrapping of Hallmark and found on their 'Think.Make.Share.' blog the work of the Kaye Kings in the 1950's about how they promoted and advertised gift wrapping by traveling around america and setting up competitions.  'Contestants were judged on styling ability, originality of subject matter, overall effect, color scheme, materials used, neatness, and preparation and speed. Categories included most beautiful, most clever or unusual, and most difficult’ . These categories could be elements to focus on and categorise memory making and cherishing. Really love the collage too

# data[].attributes.body
I thought more about the elements of memory making and cherishing, how wrapping itself can be very minimal or extravagant. The amount of effort put into the wrapping and making it look nice for someone makes the present have more meaning and thought into it.  Certain types of wrapping can be traditional and have a certain style/meaning to individuals to some e.g. my family friend sends me a simply wrapped brown parcel every birthday as it was a tradition she had as a young girl = the element of passing down a tradition and memory to others.

I looked into gift wrapping of different cultures and came across the Korean tradition of Bojagi which  is using cloth to wrap up presents or food stuffs. Jogak-bo are patchwork scrap made cloths used to wrap food stuff with ribbon in the centre so can lift and edges to tie to the table. Subo bojagi is embroidered pieces of cloth for joyous occasions such as weddings. Both however carry the notion of good luck and happiness some even with long life.
Youngmin lee's website explains Bojaji and she has created more modern intricate art pieces.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bojagi (Wrapping Cloths) is perhaps the most unique form of Korean textile art. It is also strikingly contemporary: the designs and colors of bojagi remind one of the works of some modern abstract artists. Indeed, the bojagi can be described as a true form of abstract expressionism. Bojagi are Korean textiles which pieced together from small scraps of cloth.

Bojagi occupied a prominent place in the daily lives of Koreans of all classes. They were used to wrap or carry everything from precious ritual objects to everyday clothes and common household goods and also to cover foodstuffs from ritual offerings to dining tables and trays.

Many different bojagi can be categorized by the class of users, make-up, design, material and size.

Gungbo is the bojagi used in the royal palace to wrap various kinds of goods. It was produced by the artisan organizations that were specializes in each step in the whole process-weaving, dyeing, drawing, sewing and etc.

Minbo is the bojagi used by common people. There were many kinds of minbo as diverse as the items wrapped in. People used bojagi for daily use purposes, weddings, special events and rituals.

Bojagi are usually square and come in a range of sizes. Fabrics used in bojagi include silk, cotton, hemp and ramie. There are many different types of bojagi including lined or unlined, embroidered, painted, gold-leafed, quilted.

Sara Cook a textile artists who studied with a famous Bojagi maker called Chunghie Lee creates pieces of bojaji on her website and has a book called ' Bojagi: Design and techniques in Korean textile art'. She has created a Banjitgori sewing basket (traditional korean box) to keep her seven sewing friends;  needle, thread, a thimble, a ruler, a pair of scissors, a small iron called an indoo and a large iron with a bowl to carry charcoal called a darimi. These would have been kept in either a basket or a wooden or papier-mâché box and were an essential part of every home. Sara created hers out of traditional bojagi techniques and knots called BaskGi Mae Duo made from scraps of fabric and usually seen on Jokagbo. I really like the look and idea of seven sewing friends which could be linked to memory making and cherishing.

There are very few examples of traditional Bojagi in the UK but there is one at the British Musuem of a traditonal wedding gift piece from 1875-1925. I really love the colours used in the piece and the element of the duck. Even though the wooden duck was also tradition, it makes me think of concealing and revealing ; opening a present that you don't want or like ... like if you got a wooden duck for your birthday. The wrapping makes it seem all very exciting to reveal a 'boring' present- memories of childhood and christmas'

Ideas

1- fabric/paper made out of foods/meal that could be sent or wrapped around a present. Create large sheets to represent a meal that meant something to them e.g. sunday roast that can be shared sent. Dont know what it is until tasted like dining in the dark.
2- Meals made out of patchwork fabrics/different rice papers tasting of the meal so can feel what the meal is or taste what it is . Eating it conceals what it was so only the memory rather than image exists. Encourage visualising mentally and memory provocation.
3- Immersive experience of fabrics covering a space of patchwork bojagi with images embroidered patchworked on so can feel the meal than see it directly. Have sounds of cooking around the space, alexa speaking or reactive to the interaction of feeling the bojagi. Maybe even multisensory experience of touch, sound, light patterns than sight as such, smell

Tactile symbols; Tactile symbols refer to a range of materials that can be used to support communication.
https://www.tsbvi.edu/tactile-symbols#FOOD - Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired has a list of all objects with a tactile symbol.

article about a young boy cooking for himself rice crispy squares and then creating a tactile with braille recipe book after so he can understand the process and have his own book that he made.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Materials:

Tub of butter (labeled in braille)

Bag of marshmallows (labeled in braille)

Microwave buttons (labeled in braille)

Rice Crispies (labeled in braille)

Homemade recipe book that includes real-life objects and of course - braille!

*optional-ingredient list

**I added simple labels in braille. For example the tub of butter I only put the word "Butter" on it. You can add more information on the label depending on your child's needs/level.

Procedure:

1. I had Liam help me gather all of the ingredients/materials we needed to make the treats. He felt the braille labels on all of the food items as we brought them to the table. (He really enjoyed that!)

2. First he had to put butter in the bowl. (He was not a fan of how sticky the butter was.

3. Then he poured the marshmallows in the bowl.

4. Next, he carried the bowl to the microwave and started the microwave (our microwave buttons are labeled in braille).

5. Then, I helped him carry the now melted marshmallows to the table since they were warm. I showed him how he could use the washcloth to put on the bowl so the warm bowl wouldn't hurt his hand. We talked about how the marshmallows had melted. He then stirred the melted marshmallows.

6. Next, he added the cereal and stirred.

7. Now the best part --Tasting the treat!

After we made the treats together I showed Liam the recipe book and we read it together and discussed all the steps we went through to make rice crispy bars. He read and reread the book several times that night and wanted to bring it to school the next day to share.

Thought I could use this on the bojagi to represent the meal both visually and for the blind

# data[].attributes.body
“These objects need to be easily transferrable into a tactile image – if they’re too intricate it’s not that easy to interpret them so that does become a decisive factor in the selection. We need to have variety and diversity of shape and form and material, and those that have interesting stories to provide the most overarching summary of the wider exhibition.”

Images of the chosen objects are then sent away to the RNIB where a team of designers work on turning them into the beautifully stark, line-drawn images you see in the books

To the visually impared misplaced items can be obstacles to a perfectly timed meal and not just inconveniences

Fine line between a simmer and a boil is a sound

Medium rare and well done is the sensitivity of a touch

Touch

When you’re boiling potatoes, the water should just about cover them - you don’t need good sight to feel the level of the water. Touch will tell you if your tomato is mealy, your peaches are bruised, your zucchini is limp or your spinach is slimy.

Hearing

When food hits the pan it makes a different sound depending on the hotness of it

Sizzles or hisses of water or oil

Toaster makes a pop when ready

Kettle whistles when boiled

Hear the liquid bubbling when it boils or spills over

Kat mcdermott patissier; know when a pie is perfect as can hear the sizzle-whump , sizzle of the hot butter as it cooks the flour in the crust and the whump the sound of the filling when bubbles against the crust

Smell

Burnt or smoke smells

Can smell the spice in a curry or hot sauce in the dish

In their post they linked and article from the new york times https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/28/dining/to-become-a-better-cook-sharpen-your-senses.html
The cook and writer Christine Ha, 37, said that touch has become her primary guide in the kitchen since she began losing her sight soon after starting college.

“It’s like my fingertips have become my eyes,” she said. “I can learn so much more by touch than I would have thought.”

David Linden, a neurobiologist at Johns Hopkins University and the author of the book “Touch,” confirmed that the fingertips become more sensitive in people who are blind from birth and in those who learn to read Braille. “Hearing and touch become more acute in the absence of sight,” he said. The part of the brain dedicated to gathering information from the eyes actually shrinks in size, while the parts that receive signals from the ears and touch-sensitive nerve endings grow larger.

“Sensory cooking is the opposite of technique,” Mr. Smillie said. “The formulas you learn in culinary school won’t make you a chef, but cooking with all your senses will.”

A multisensory approach to food is not only practical, but also all the rage. Ever since the chef Heston Blumenthal put headphones on his guests so they could listen to his dish Sound of the Sea while they ate it, and Grant Achatz served a deep breath of lavender-scented air at Alinea (it arrived at the table trapped in a pillow), chefs have been trying to create dishes that challenge our assumptions about how we experience food.

Goes onto talk about ASMR and is essentially how the blind go about cooking ; the most recent mulisensory development between food and autonomous sensory meridian response (asmr)

She also has highly textural and tacticle examples.

Teacher, Na Jung-Hee in her studio in Suwon, demonstrating to me how to insert the central square to my Bojagi covering cloth.

Since I first saw Chungie Lee's inspiring piece, No Name Women at the Festival of Quilts in 2009 I have been researching Bojagi: Korean wrapping cloths. A trip to the international Korean Bojagi Forum in the historic city of Suwon in South Korea in 2016 gave me the chance to work first hand with Bojagi experts and to study historical examples. I was thrilled when Chunghie Lee invited me to participate in the 2018 Korean Bojagi Forum as a practicing artist representing the U.K among six other specially invited international Bojagi artists who were to have individual exhibitions.

I have enjoyed researching textile techniques from around the world, however Korean Textiles have fascinated me the most and my working practice is inspired by Bojagi principles.

In my book, Bojagi: Design and techniques in Korean textile art, published by Batsford books I have shared my knowledge about how and why traditional bojagi were made as well as how contemporary textile artists are interpreting these ideas in their own innovative work. In the book I will show how to construct the different seams and decorative stitching.

You can order a copy here.

Bojagi is the overarching name given to this type of Korean textiles. Roughly translated it means wrapping or covering cloth. Bojagi have played an important role in traditional Korean culture and have been used to wrap, carry and store objects as well as for religious rituals and marriages. These functional items were made not as a pastime but were an integral part of daily life. If you want to find out more about Bojagi take a look at my blog.

As the founder of Brighton Fashion and Textile School and qualified teacher I enjoy offering City & Guilds courses in Patchwork and Quilting in Brighton at Certificate and Diploma level. Qualifying as a Quilt Judge for the Quilter's Guild of the British Isles has been another interesting addition to my skills and it is a great pleasure to be invited to judge at quilt shows both here and internationally. I run textile courses in both traditional and contemporary Bojagi techniques.

I have had articles published in The Quilter magazine for the Quilter's Guild of the British Isles, Popular Patchwork magazine and have worked as technical editor on a number of Patchwork books. I regularly give talks and workshops for Quilt Groups.

I look forward to meeting you in person, at one of my courses.

Artist looking into making fabric edible and using foods as fabrics

'VELBEKOMME'// THE EDIBLE LACE

‘I believe that too many people these days, rely too much on their sense of sight for their enjoyment of food. They let how it looks influence their opinion before they taste it. I aim to prove that this is irrelevant and that it shouldn’t really matter how it looks. so long as it tastes good.

I plan to introduce you to my way of cooking, preparing and eating food. Sometimes it might be different to how other people do it, Sometimes it might be the same. Just remember there are many ways to skin a cat and all of them just as effective.

Yes, not being able to see means there are limitations in the kitchen. I wouldn’t for example be overly confident in juggling many boiling pans at the same time, cooking over an open flame, or handling a blowtorch, but there are plenty of things I can do and hope to learn to do in the future.’

Audience: Who is it for?

It is for those who are visually impared, those who are not, those who want to share a meal together once more, to harness connectivity between friends and family when it has been stretched to its limits due to recent events. To invite back meal time conversations, memories and the experience of sharing a meal.

Platform/Format: What is it? What does it do?

A large textile patchwork piece, Bojagi, using different materials and embroidery to create a highly tactile and textural piece depicting a meal so that there is a visual depiction but also readable by the visually impared through textures. The meal depicted is to invite back the idea of sharing a meal between people and hopefully bring back fond memories bringing those involved a sense of being closer to each other.

When would it be used?

It would be used when someone is wanting to share a meal, a mealtime memory or the experience of sharing a meal. To connect to the other through thought and the same values of a greeting card; to let someone know you are there, you are in their thoughts, reaching out and showing you care.

Where would it be used?

It could be used as simply a gift to another to be framed on the wall or as a blanket/quilt, as gift wrapping around a meal that could be sent to the loved one. It could be placed just in the home or in an interactive immersive experience exhibition in a gallery.

Intended purpose/use of your idea: Why is it useful?

Even though it doesn’t have a designed purpose of utility, the message and meaning that it would carry is its purpose. Due to the multiple levels of connectivity between the blind and those not, through sharing memories, a way of maintaining connections during the pandemic and reaching out in thought and gesture gives the textile an important use. It would be nice to think that the piece would help to improve people's moods, mental wellbeing and feeling of being with friends and family.

Creative responses (LO1) you will begin to use to explore your idea: How will you investigate it?

I am going to investigate more into the different materials that could be used to create highly tactile and varied textural pieces through artist research for inspiration. I will continue to look into Bojagi artists, textile artists and also illustrators who create geometric imagery of food. I also will keep looking into how the blind would read the different textures differently, how they differentiate objects and textures using tactile symbols such as in the kit and gallery exhibition books. The meaning of sharing a meal, its importance etc. and why its an important thing for those who are and aren’t visually impared.

A nice article about a chef drawing meals he had almost everyday of the year. Really lovely illustrations, quite graphic which could work for depicting into a fabric style.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Some meals leave an impression-you might remember the cherry pie your grandma always made or a multi-course dinner consisting of toast and caviar, a mound of shaved truffle topping pasta, and wagyu tartare. Rather than solely rely on his memory to envision the fare he's enjoyed, though, Japanese chef Itsuo Kobayashi has been painting and describing in detail the dishes he's eaten for the past 32 years in a series of notebooks and standalone works.

While an interesting look at Kobayashi's nourishment, the detailed projects are also a growing collection of outsider art. N. Kushino, who runs Kushino Terrace gallery in Fukuyama, Japan, and represents Kobayashi, tells Colossal that the artist begins by writing detailed passages of what he eats before going back to create his appetizing illustrations.

What stands out is that all of these drawings feature an overhead perspective so that all of the ingredients of the food Kobayashi depicts can be seen. Furthermore, in the blank spaces in his compositions, the artist writes the names and prices of, and his opinions about the food and the ingredients he portrays. He adds positive descriptive words about his subjects, such as "delicious," so that he may provoke good memories when he later looks at the drawings.

For many years, Kobayashi cooked at a soba restaurant and provided meals for schools until he was diagnosed with alcoholic neuritis, a debilitating condition that reduced his mobility. Now, the artist mostly works from home, ordering take-out often and continuing to detail his meals at length. Since he started the creative project at age 18, Kobayashi has produced more than 1,000 illustrations. "For him, painting and living have the same meaning. The disease (makes it) more and more difficult to walk, but he does not stop painting," Kushino says. Most recently, Kobayashi has begun shaping pop-ups in his works featuring bowls of tempura seafood and piles of noodles.

Shared at the Outsider Art Fair in New York earlier this year, Kobayashi's pieces sold for up to $3,000. To see a project in the same vein, check out James Deeds Jr.'s Ectlectric Pencil. (via ArtNet)

I really like the way she has layed out the food from an ariel point of view and her style of them. They might be too detailed to be transferred to fabric. It was initial artist research into food illustration.

Thinking about how depecit foods in textures that weren't so generic but also related made me think of looking into microscope imagery of foods. Their biological textures are so varied and interesting it could be a nice way to influence the choice of fabric I would have the food imagery made out of. Even though i wouldn't be able to get all of the textures an identical fabric I could try and find the most similar and so result in a variety.

Spoke with Martina in her experience as being visually impaired. So insightful and lovely to be able to speak to her.
Key points I spoke to her about:
- Isolation of covid, get help from friends and family when cooking had lost that
-Guessing a lot of the time what she was eating. Had rely on freezer food and only knew what she was having when it was in the oven. No brail on the outside and can't read it.
-Plan out a 3 hour shop to get there, have to get someone to go round getting the things for her
- Going to the shop is a chore and not the nicest experience but is the only social contact she'll get when going out the house
- Relys on digital technology a lot, can't read brail- only just mastered the vowels of them
- issues with the microwave; become more sleek and design side its hard to distinguish the differences of the buttons
-stickers on her clothes so she can scan it and it say what it is so she's not missdressed 'look like a complete clown'
- went to one exhibition and used tactile imagery cards in there. Had no clue what it was like but very interesting
-relys very much on other senses; has a dogs nose can smell everything- interesting to think about that in terms of the depth of smells encorperated in sensory experiences
-childhood memories to visualize. etched into her head and try and recreate it. It probably will be a mess but she doesn't know, to her its perfect. relys on tasting and hearing the foods
- 'god forbid the day if i ever start to get demetia or alzheimers and the memories you have and rely on go' - is something I had never ever thought about how difficult it would be for them.
- constantly trying to train her brain so that she can keep those memories alive in her head and stimulate her brain power

22nd March- I spoke with Oliver to see where abouts I should be in the project as I was worried that I was too far behind.
Whilst talking about this we went onto my project and how I was struggling to find textural fabrics online so he suggested; ucl materials collection website
also when speaking about my idea he gave a point about how it should be shared more- possibly 'cut into sections' , have it as a table mat or something so then when the family is brought back together the tapestry is completed. I really like this idea and I think I'm going to keep working with this.

When I am going to be drawing the bojagi examples I am going to be basing them off pictures I have of prominant memories that I have from the past couple of years.
The purpose of my product is to present meals that have strong meaning and memories attached to them, so that the people recieving the bojagi can relate to it strongly and feel a connection and reliving of the memory.

# data[].attributes.body
First initial drawing of the BBQ memory. I drew the images very simply as they are going to be shapes of fabric on the bojagi so they can't be too detailed. Whilst painting these, I was researching into textures and imagery that could be used either in the bojagi or for me to draw.
It took me ages and I really dont like how it looks- very amature and childish but it was a good starting point

# data[].attributes.body
Whilst researching into how i could depict the textures i was drawing as well as finding textures that were different enough so that when they were stiched next to eachother the visually impared could define the difference between the food elements. I thought about textures of foods and how theyre best seen under a micrscope so I started to look into microscopic imagery. It turned up some interesting imagery and provided a good influence for the textures and fabrics to use. Not all the foods had microscope imagery so i had to use the food textures.
Attached is a link to one of the many websites i looked into for the microscope imagery- it took a lot of time and research to find the websites and imagery which is why i might be behind

Drawing using watercolour and pencil to draw out an intital thought on how the meal could be depicted on the bojagi. I really dont like how its layed out, its quite rigid and not very exciting. It took me ages to create this as I was researching at the same time and not too sure what I was doing.
This way of drawing it isnt the best way and I need to find another way of depicting the textures

# data[].attributes.body
After struggling with my initial drawings; spending so much time and hating what I produced (and so little of it) I took a small break by drawing this. I thought it would probably be best to draw out exactly each element of the bojagi and what it can do and represent.
It really helped to reset my mind on the project and hopefully will let me continue forward positively.

# data[].attributes.body
After taking a second thought and small break on the project i went back to how to draw the imagery I decided to tackle it in 2 directions;
1. individual elements of the meal and have them layed out next to eachother so that the mind can form the image of the meal in the mind (below image)
2. Slightly more connected/placement of how the meal would be (next post)
Its a key thing of how the food is to be placed/presented on the bojagi- i was in a weird head space and I couldn't figure out where to start or how which is why its all not quite to standard i'd like.

In the attached image is a texture grid of all the food elements of the bbq and blt which are memories of summer to me so using the principle of my idea of an example of a memory (image bottom left of attachment of another memory of mine of the best BLT sanwiches ever).
This time I used gouache and pencil to see if there was a better texture but it still wasn't too effective. I left the line drawing over the top of the colours as I wanted to keep the idea of drawing with sewing that i researched into with Alice Kettle and Mckeating use in their work. I feel like it adds more dimension to the visual piece as well as the added detail to the elements and possible tactile reading of the bojagi.

# data[].attributes.body
I managed to use photoshop to edit in the textures I drew of the microscope imagery along with some of those actual images and images of the food itself to create a more varied and obvious range of textures in the food. I really like how they look but they dont look like fabric textures as such. I feel that this is as good as i am going to get seeming the fabrics aren't physically available. Maybe some more detailed drawings of the fabrics are needed alongside?

# data[].attributes.body
I placed the individual food elements on the outline of the bojagi as a rough initial meal design on it. I went with the pieces touching each other so the patchwork pattern would work and there wouldn't be too many small pieces connecting the whole thing.
I added some line drawings to also help represent the memory; cup for tea, flowers and leaves for the summer sun and garden we had the meal in. These would be sewn on like line drawings like McKeating and Kettle did. However I feel they don't add much so will not continue with this idea

# data[].attributes.body
Sectioning of the fabric behind into larger pieces of fabric. Photoshopped different textures of fabrics even though theyre not to be felt simply as a background.  The colours were chosen just because it sits quite well with the rest of the imagery.
The orange is sort of like a ribbon boarder on the piece.

I feel like this depicts quite well how I want it to look but it still looks very flat and not much variation in the textures of the food. A step in the right direction

# data[].attributes.body
When creating the front of the Bojagi I thought about how would the visually impared person be able to tell which element was which so I thought about placing small patches on the back of it with the description. A patch of what food stuff is on that particular piece would be on the back to describe. Practically it may not work as not all visually impared read brail and it being on the back if being used as a table mat might make it uneven.

# data[].attributes.body
After doing the photoshop visualising I decided to go back to experimenting the potential layouts of the meal from ariel, side and spread out. I thought that the spread out depiction was nice as you could still see all the elements in the food while being able to see it as it would be served. Influence from Amber Days illustration style.
I started in the left bottom corner to draw it out onto the bojagi size to see how it would look various scales.
I liked the look of the oversized/zoomed in version as its more interesting than straight in the centre.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking into the placement of the meal on the bojagi again along with how the patchwork will look in different styles behind the meal. Left side was me looking into how the bojagi could be separated into different numbers to be shared with as people will want to share it with different various numbers i.e. not only 2 others

# data[].attributes.body
I drew a 'final' version of my sketch developments to then be edited further on photoshop with colour and texture. I really like the design of the BLT on this as you can clearly see all the elements and it doesn't seem to flat and boring- slightly abstracted.

Bojagi designs of the 4 meals BLT, BBQ, Roast and Fish&chips in bojagis separated in 3 - 6 pieces.

I really like how they have turned out and think they look quite nice as a series. I will just have to move onto the texture developments

# data[].attributes.body
With the bojagi I inted to insert a card that holds the small sample textures and explanation so that the back of the bojagi doesn't become messy and it uneven.

On the front of the card will be an insert of a small example of a Bojagi with the image of the memory, those involved i.e picture realted to the meal sewn/connected to it.
On the bottom is some conductive ink (idea come from inspirer talk Micheal Shorter) so that when its attached to a sound source it plays a message, recipe, asmr of the meal being cooked.
This is a basic outline/generic design to be used for the all.

The two lines at the bottom will be connected by continuous writing of the title of the project so it forms a completed circuit- it is not filled in yet as I haven't thought of the name.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my second attempt to draw/depict the bojagi idea. This time I created it using the textures i made using acrylic paint and other pieces. The colours and textures are more vibrant and you can clearly distinguish between them.
I will have to try out different colour schemes to see how it looks as this is just initially I way of doing it.

# data[].attributes.body
This was intended so that I could see how they could work with the bojagi being certain colours. I'm not too sure wether they should be so highly coloured, it becomes very bold and contrasting. Traditional bojagi is coloured but there are a series of artists that i have seen use simply plain or muted natural colours for their bojagi which might work better with the overall look and reading of the tapestry.

-is it a set number of meals or is it bespoke to each person?
