fashion, shepherds bush market 

following on with our sampling of multiples, we were asked to photocopy most of our paper pieces, to then work with on monday. our directions were to either slice, score, twist, sculpt our pieces of paper. using one line, we had to do one of the listed manipulations to the line. i chose to simple slice 1 line for each photocopy, and with each photocopy i created 10 different varying shaping ideas. i really enjoyed working quickly and with the photocopies. i feel as though it allowed us to fully explore how a simple manipulation can affect our outcomes.

 from that we moved onto larger scaled paper (A2/A3) and were reminded that less=more. 

at first i didn't see the link as to why we had to make larger piece samples,  however we were then quickly brought into the next section of our rotation: modelling. with the larger scale pieces we made, we had to put reinvent them whilst putting them against the body. 

on a visit to shepherd's bush market we saw a peculiar man with a peculiar dog...we were asked to gather more materials to further develop our ideas, so i took a little trip to the market and found a wonderful rubbery material which reminded me of the metallic qualities of a can. after a talk with one of the tutors i decided to continue with the photographic manipulation for the crit, but incorporate these new found materials behind the images.
