materials workshop

ok, so for monday's workshop we were asked to bring in an assortment of materials. Our first task - create a garment our of each material. I chose my glasses.

paper - strung marshmallows - soap - 100's & 1000's



...and then we had to 'wear' them
...so badass

The most fun being the 100's & 1000's


So the idea here was to 'challenge' our perceptions of dress - does the material dictate our perception? Does this only apply when our notion of 'wearability' is changed?

I am wearing my marshmallow glasses as i eat them - because the material is made to be eaten...

Are edible underwear only 'worn' once they are swallowed?

Monument to Water

As part of my studio, our first brief was to create a 'monument to water' for the flower and garden show.

In researching the world underwater, i looked internally. Asking 'what is on the underside'? As we dance and swim beneath the surface there is a silence, a solitude; there is only truth. Interesting that the surface of the water can be reflective - is the person on the underside the truth to who we are - unbound and free.

For my 'monument' i wanted to express the DUALITY of ourselves, hence the two torsos. The topside, darker and rigid; the underside, serene and fruitful...



Thanks to Anna & Sharlee for helping me get this beast together.
