I wanted to include Gunta Stozl's work because of her unique drawing style, which is especially useful for transferring imagery into weave and fabric patterns. Her work is largely influenced by her experience in the Bauhaus and the artists associated with this movement, such as Wassilly Kandinsky & Paul Klee, as you can see elements of their style has come through into her work. Another element of her work that particularly appealed to me is her use of colour and proportions, used specifically to portray the landscapes that inspired her over her career. Her style of mark making and use of colour has inspired me to look at my imagery in a different way and be able to transfer the arrangements of colour into a woven or knitted piece.
