In continuation of exploring the neck and shoulders I was looking into making very structural pieces out of foam and covering the foam with fabric, signifying stretch fabrics ability to stretch over a surface area. I had this particular shape in mind as influenced by the flaring epaulets of Thai dancers. I’ve found working on the stand to mould and create shapes is what I am particularly drawn to; the nature of improvisation is quite intriguing. Currently just working on developing the right shape for the piece but am interested in exploring different shapes I could mould using lingerie foam.
Hi Tanya,
ReplyDeleteconsistent and good posts - what is the difference between changing the silhouette of the neck with the shape of foam, and by your other toiles of excessive drape? what type of tension are you trying to achieve and what does this do say to the generic category of swim wear, how does your work change the function?
