Embroidery - visual recording [week 1]

Continuing on the theme of data I started to look at different means of visual recording, exploring the different ways that various forms of data can be represented aesthetically. I looked at things such as finger prints, lines I drew in response to sound (speech and music) and the movement of light captured with slow shutter speed photography.

The images of the moving light captured a certain energy and direction I found inspiring, which is why this is the idea I have decided to carry forward and develop. Using the original images, I decided to play around in Photoshop, because I found the original images were a little difficult to translate into machine stitch samples.
