Opposites (Book Art Project)
Sadly these were never used, but were meant as a graphic drawings to be put inside a much larger piece of work. Graphic drawings depicting abstract interpretations of opposites, here we see the opposites of "truth + lies" (on the left) and shape (right).
Fame Kills Dress
A dress I made for my Textiles class. I used nearly 12 ft. of Organza, and smothered the entire thing in text, reading "Marilyn", "Judy", "Britney" and "Diana" - referring to Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Britney Spears and Princess Diana. Women who lived, died or suffered in the eyes of the media. The dress was designed to be traditional and feminine, but the creepy "stalker style" handwriting was meant to create a contrast to the cliché design. It was meant to strike a balance between something fashionable and conventionally pretty and something darker. Conceptually I think it's one of my strongest pieces, and really triggered a desire to investigate the idea further, the idea of "Fame Kills" was the used as the basis for my FMP later in the year.
Book Art - Rough Sketches / Texture Experimentation
An ambitious prototype that never really saw the light of day. One of the objectives of the Book Art project was to question what the whole notion of the book was. So I took it upon myself to create something that didn't in any way look like a conventional book.
This was a very rough prototype for my last Book Art piece. Using abstract drawings as a means of describing opposites, the mark making and use of texture became key. I wanted to interlink with the typology project in that each piece of paper would have a slightly different texture. Using different types of spices, coffee's or even using crushed tablets, as a means of creating different colours and textures.
