PROGRESS SO FAR TOILES


SO HERE IS A QUICK RECAP ON WHAT AM DOING....  THE CONCEPT IS CONFINEMENT AND AM TRYING TO PORTRAY THIS MOOD IN AN INNOVATIVE WAY THAT IS NOT EXPECTED... WELL THAT'S WHAT I WAS AIMING FOR. INITIALLY I LOOKING WAS IMAGES THAT REPRESENT THIS MOOD, THEN I STUMBLED ON A STATUE BY Umberto Boccioni  "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space"...  THIS IS A FUTURISTIC PIECE.. THE ARTIST WITHIN THAT PERIOD WHERE RESENTIFUL OF ALL THAT WAS TRADITIONAL AND WHERE MORE EXITED BY SPEED AND TECHNOLOGY... ON THIS IDEA I WAS ABLE TO RELATE TO THE STATUE THROUGH OBSERVATION, IN THAT THE STATUE IS MADE OF A MATERIAL THAT HEAVY N VERY STABLE WHERE AS THE WAY ITS CONSTRUCTED SHOWS MOVEMENT...  THIS TO ME EVOKES IDEAS OF FRUSTRATION  >>> WANTING TO MOVE BUT BEING UNABLE TO THUS BEING CONFINED. SO WITH THIS IN MIND I THOUGHT WHAT WAY CAN

I EXPRESS THIS IN A NEW WAY SOMETHING THAT PURPOSELY GOES AGAINST TRADITION... THIS WAS REVEALED IN FABRICATION... MY CHOICE WAS ORGANZA. WE KNOW ORGANZA TO BE DELICATE , FLUID, I TOOK THAT IDEA AND TWISTED IT BY APPLYING INTERFACING TO IT THUS MAKING IT RIGID>>> TO FURTHER EXPLORE THE IDEA OF STRUCTURE I THEN PLEATED AND PIN TACKED THE ORGANZA(OMG THE LONG THING EVER IS HAND PLEAT I SPEND MOST OF MY DAY PLEATING AND PIN TUCKING..
 MY NEW NAME IS MRS PLEATS LOLOL)..


THIS COMPLETELY CHANGED THE LOOK, AM NOT SURE WHETHER I WANT TO SEE THE ORGANZA COME THROUGH, WILL SEE AS I PROGRESS.  I ASWELL AS THIS I THOUGHT WHY NOT TRY EXPRESS THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT WHICH WILL BE ILLUSTRATED THROUGH DIGITAL PRINT AND MAYBE TIE DYING THE ORGANGA

OTHER ELEMENTS SUCH AS PLEATING I WILL BE LOOKING AT THE MAIN MAN HIMSELF MR ISSEY MIYAKE >>>MR PLEAT LOL  AND MANY OTHERS THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED FURTHER ON


ANYWAY I FEEL I HAVE WROTE TOO MUCH HERE ARE SOME PICS TO SHOW WHAT AM SAYING >>>>>


 Sculpture derived from Unique forms of continuity in space (Forme uniche della continuita nello spazio) (1913)

  2. hey hope you are going to develop the organza idea even further..i remember using it for my first year, used it ontop of similar colour taffeta, it worked out really well and created my own unique fabric..ohh you should try watermark silk taffeta,it looks amazing on hussein chalayans s10 collection with tiny winny pleats,sooo out of this world.fluid yet so solid.i thnk it would work really well with your drapery/concept..
