Art Portfolio: Project Sign Off

I have designed a project theme and developed my initial idea. Now I am adding the project sign off the form here: Textiles & Plastic Fashion

In the beginning, I applied the ideas of my intended outcome and used a digital tool 'Sketchbook' in the iPad to create a sample piece with a design from VOGUE. I took a photo of a plastic fork from my flat and repeated this pattern to create a concept of layers on the dress.

This idea is from a British artist, Susie MacMurray. The wedding dress is created by 1400 plastic dishwashing gloves and is called 'A Mixture of Frailties'.

1400 Household Gloves turned Inside Out 

Calico 

Tailors Dummy (private collection) 

This is just the idea for my intended outcome. Of course, it will be more completed and developed in the final pieces. As I said at the beginning, the aim of this term is to make simple and creative designs. Therefore, I will keep researching designers or artists like Susie MacMurray, to show fashionable and textural design at the same time in a simple way.
