On Thursday we had technical 1:1 tutorials and space tutorials. During this time I was able to speak to Natasha about where I would be portraying object, how I would be and what the story is behind it. Discussing with Natasha about my project, I explained that my object is more symbolic as it is old jumpers from my nan being recycled Into one, meaning things mended together creates something stronger. As I am looking into light as well, I also explained that the lighting will also be symbolic as it is showing that there is light’ after death that would shine through the object and around it.
One designer that I Was told to look into was Celiya Pym.
Cyliam Pym uses old sourced materials from all sorts and creates something new with them thats suiting the trends nowadays. Her designs are all very abstract as she has used a lot of fabric manipulation to give that extra style to it. Looking into her designs I was inspired by her as she’s used old un wanted materials to create something brand new that can be handed down in later years or infant recycled again to create a new clothing or item.
After researching into this designer and having more tutorials, I was able to start with the jumper.
With the jumper, I cut up several pieces out of old ones like Cyli and began to piece them together, seeing what looked right before sewing them together. Once I had done this I was able to start sewing the jumpers together, creating the new jumper.
Looking at the jumper, I feel as though i need to add a few more things to it, whether its my nans jewellery or photos of the family to give it more character whilst also adding my own aesthetic to it.
