Week 6

Week 6

The concept for my project will be Absurd  'v, acceptability

What makes one thing acceptable as opposed to another.

We are conditioned to see absurdity as we see fit different cultures ,will have very different veiws on what is Absurd and what is acceptable.These two factors will be interlocked into one garment.

I have been working frantically towards my mid way presentation that’s on Friday. I intend to show 6 designs, as I see this as a selection point, where all the tutors will be there, my decision will be easier to acheive

Once I have started working on a shape I get so attached I end up not wanting to edit anything.

I did show 6 designs at my presentation. The outcome being I must edit and only consider continuing with 3. I feel each piece is a statement. I would enjoy embarking on a journey with all but that would not be possible, due to time constrant.

I have noticed where I am so passionate and really want to do well; I become a bag of nerves when the word presentation is mentioned. I feel my heart racing, my voice trembling, and I can not put a sentence together. This sounds so strange, when I think I have been teaching forever.! I feel like I am going to pass out! Where is that Rescue Remedy when you need it!

I have been told that I need to read more, find people in my field who are doing similar work to me. I have been trying, but it seems I don’t get it right. Research is another of the areas i seem to struggle with.

The up side, Zowie and Sian liked all the designs. i was pleased with the work on the day as i know they were not perfect they are all interesting journeys to embark on. I was told what i had was strong and i could work with whatever i wanted , again i had to decide what i was going to edit. Now all I have to do is select which 3 designs I want to go with. I feel the selection needs to be like opening of a stage curtain, small glimpse then the full stage appears. The original idea in its purest  form then playing with the idea further. I will make one in jersey, and two in suiting.
I feel the whole statement would be a lot stronger if there were at least 6 pieces in the line up; otherwise it's like one lick of an ice cream your left craving more.
