(Sorry this video is sideways..)
I finally got the right battery attachment for my el wire, which will be a part of the jellyfish dress. I decided not to get rid of it because it really is a part of my work and I like what it's becoming. I think my collection of wearables is definitely taking a turn back into fantasy and now I'm not making myself censor that. I think that these pieces will really express me and what I love to do, even if they are perceived as fashion or costume and not art.
I put together the pieces of my jellyfish dress though I still have a lot of other elements to add.
I'm weaving a dress entirely out of ribbons. Originally this dress was a different design but I couldn't find the hardware I wanted to use and decided to weave it. This dress will be constricting and revealing, focusing on the use of a decoration to create structure.
This is my new and improved hardhat :)
My meeting with Kris the other day went really well and I was really happy to have her respond well to what I wrote in my first thesis draft. I really thought what I wrote didn't make any sense but when I reevaluated it I realized there was some ideas in there that are still very relevant to what I'm working on in my project right now. I am getting to the point where I am really excited to be working again and I'm wanting to create work for the fun of it. :)
