Photoshoot

  

Photoshoot:

The photoshoot went really well. I am glad I used three different models for each of the dresses as this made each one shine in their own write. Each dress has its own personalitywhen you see them on a model. There were slight hick ups with the stylist, however as a collective team we were able to resolve?.....  The photos make my point of 'Absurd Acceptability', the familiar with the absurd. The ongoing research of my shapes are intriguing. The more you seem to resolve, the more there is to resolve. The amount of work involved in esembling the foundation in a coherant many is amazing. I feel the documentation of each piece should be edited in a way the journey is shared with the viewer. I am looking at the possibility of making some kind of slide show/ film to present with the work. I have a meeting with Dominic (final cut pro tutor) next week to discuss what I could possibly do to display the journey in an interesting manner.

Twin dress:

The shape is evolving, each stage sets a new set of challenges. The relationship of how each section works in relation of the body. The fabric I have selected seems slightly heavier than what I anticipated seciy as a whole piece.

The Jersey/Comfort dress:

The shape is resolved. I am still on my mission to locate the perfect cream/ivory jersey in the correct weight.

Exhibition Space:

We had our first meeting in the gallery space with the space curator. The intor made the whole event seem real, as opposal to looking at our work in our space. We will be graduating shortyly and our work will be on display for the world to view. The next challenge is to work out a senario where all of us (MA Group) are happy with the use of space.  I have a clear vision in my head of what I want to portray to the viewer. The launch of Blegin the clothes/installation designer.

Week 9

The 3D scanning is a really lengthy process. The data is fed in to the system, then a figure is imported from the programme that is then superimposed on to the original scanned image. The two are then integrated in to one.

The software at L.C.F only has 2 very basic hairstyles and 3 pairs of very basic shoes.
I decided to omit the shoes and the hair as it would take the body of work in to a completely different realm, i.e. a doll with no hair.

I have decided to sculpt in to the back of her head to create a point of intrigue.

Learning outcome – I truly believe at this point, I have rediscovered myself as an artist and designer. This is where I want to be. I am able to approach and execute my ideas in with much more adventure and clarity. I feel like I am at the peak of my learning curve. The different disciplines covered in the previous modules, have given me the confidence and courage to experiment and explore in areas I would not have dreamed of otherwise. I.e. anything that involves IT, 3D scanning, setting up my own website from a blank page, designing and creating a range of fabric based structures that are solely to express, no commerce considerations.

Commerce has always been the core consideration of what one can and can’t do. However I feel this has allowed me the freedom to be self indulgent and experimental for the duration of the course and beyond.

Dyslexia Report – I was given a 22 page report by the Dyslexia psychologist, which confirmed that I am dyslexic. All the areas where I suffer and feel tormented in my life i.e. academic writing have been due to the dyslexia.
This is why I struggle to the extent I do. I truly feel tormented at the thought of not being able to achieve, express and convey in writing my thoughts and feelings.
I am suddenly at the same time relieved to know the reason behind why I struggle in writing, reading, retaining information, short-term memory, editing information, regrouping information in order of sequence.
