The Live Blanket - Progress

The Live Blanket is progressing well.I have made the base of the piece and have made half of the crotchet patches which are yet to be connected into the body of the blanket. The patches vary in material, texture and shape. Some are simple and basic crochet patterns others are like cungy voys, amoeba like structure that stick out from the blanket and wrap around the speakers. Next week i am meeting with David so i can get started on making the speakers/microphones and figure out the logistics of the amplification and the rest. I have decided to keep the colours in grades of black.  I want the audience to want to touch the sturcture and surface as their interaction with the blanket is vital to the success of the Live Blanket . x
