For me importantly, aspects of this research was quite significant in relation to the development of my work, however, this did not become apparent until nearing the end of the assignment.

Using the information, I learnt from my research on Richard Box as well as information he gave me via email. I was able to develop a style of collage in fabric that I had never used before. 

Following the steps Richard sets out on his video "picture it in collage and states" I learnt which were the best fabrics to use when creating an image such as this one. 

Having applied Richard's techniques, I now realise that I can take this forward and combine it with techniques I have had much success with. Most importantly I have learnt that my research has allowed me to develop as an artist, as well as giving me a stronger grounding in both new and old techniques that I can pass on within my teaching.
