Material Play







Workshop Two Cont.

These images are of my exploration and manipluation of 4 different materials; candle wax, toothpicks, blu-tack and hair gel, in relation to making a model of my grey jumper and then "putting them on".
In order to "put on" most of the materials, the form or shape created was altered in order to get the feeling of what a full garment made out of that material would feel like against the body.
The toothpicks and candle wax were the most unwearable as a garment material and it relied on minimal movement and even glue to keep to my skin's surface.
The blu-tack and hair gel both felt cold against the skin and only adhered for a short while, so whilst slighlty uncomfortable these materials can be successfully "put on".

I was quite taken with the blu-tack material and the various ways in which it can be manipulated to created different forms and textures.....
A material for further exploration...
