Creative Access Resource

​

wool, beads, lights, rope, wire, text, umbrella

​

For this project, I worked with the national museum of wales. The project aimed to create a creative access resource targeted for the audience of people who are visually impaired and experience limitations when visiting the gallery (The creative access resource would be a physical object that one could interact with through touch or sound for example). The creative access resource could be based on my choice of artwork in the museum. The art piece I was drawn to at the museum was an abstract painting of a landscape by Mary Lloyd Jones called Pwerdy Ceunant. For my design I crocheted the vibrant patches of land, I added a white border to this to create contrast between the patches for those who are partially sited, I added rows of beads across this border to create a tactile path that could be followed through touch to distinguish the different patches, I added lights to mark what I interpreted for the art piece as a road, and this symbolised street lights, I also added raised signs and symbols using wool wrapped around a thick rope, and raised text. I created my design over an umbrella, a common item needed when walking the landscapes of rainy Wales.
