Having looked more closely at my initial photographs, I noticed the raised dots on the metal beams which created small detail on a huge structure. They feel like interruptions in the metal work and I wanted to move away from the diamonds and chevrons in order to try and represent small circular interruptions in my samples.
Working closely with Scotweave, I created a pattern as close to a circle as possible to weave over 30 ends. I think this gives my body of work depth and variety as although at first the shape was more oval, with testing and sampling I was able to create a circle that stood out from the vertical stripes of the warp just like the dots on the metal beams.
If I had more time, I would have liked to have developed this idea further on the jacquard in order to create a fabric that included several ideas from samples on the dobby as a culmination of this warp.
