Interest in Pinterest!

23.12.13

For a while now I have been collecting links - pins - on Pinterest just to get a visual representation of things I like in the world of art. After a while my single collection seemed to be quite eclectic and I set about trying to group my "pins" onto "boards"  of similar things or ideas.
I do not intend to keep these collections permanently and will delete pins and boards after I have used them for inspiration in an experiment or project.

I have collected mainly pins of textile

•  faces, figures, and groups of people 
•  circles
•  textures
•  stitch combinations 
•  examples of composition and technique

There are a number of things in common in most of the pins. There is a great deal of contrast in value, interesting use of space and incompletion in the appearance of the pin.

The question is, why do these things resonate with me (as opposed to landscapes for instance), and what do I do with these interests?
