I must admit my heart sank when I saw the subject for this challenge, my
opinion of Hundertwasser’s work was very low infact I disliked it quite
intensely, however I started to look at the Google images and found a link to
his architecture. A real eye opener and I was amazed by how much I liked some
of his ideas. At first I tried collage to see if this would aid my design
process but eventually worked out a picture with oil pastels which was then transferred
to a piece of embroidery linen.
I have not just used colour in this piece but a variety of different
textures as well following ( I hope ) Hundertwasser’s beliefs and practices. So
as well as hooking in the traditional manner with a variety of fabrics I also
cut the tops of the loops in some areas specifically to represent trees and
grass on roof tops and also used a form of chain stitch done with the rug hook.
At the moment the work is finished as far as the hooking is concerned
but I have not yet decided how the piece will be finished, mainly because I
think that I will probably try and use it in something.
