Materiologies: Making Links: Crystallization dress

Some Artwork from my Materiologies Series

Hydrological Filtration, Sequestration, 2007

Reverse Rain Machine, 2007

Mythological Water Cycle, 2009

I'm starting to see links between drawing concepts and styles, and my clothing. In the same way clothing is produced and displayed in a collection, I place a strong importance on the serial aspect of my artwork. Perhaps one day there will be a Mythological Materiologies Fashion show, or Opera. I'm excited to watch a Ballets Russes film I got from the library today.

A work in Progress: Taffeta Cyborg-chic.

mmmmmm...grey felt, silver lining...

I'm so excited about this and it isn't even done. There is some hemming do do, and there's going to be an optional belt which will cinch the front and leave a full back.

I'm going to put this on a boy and come up with some alterations for a unisex version... grrrr.

winter adventure hoods for the fashion show?

FASHION SHOW

!

Welcome to the world Ghost Shirt

This was my very first time working with Chiffon. It's very much like drawing and I like to see the guts of a piece inside and out, not to mention wearing see through clothes. I am looking forward to making this in other colours for the fashion show.
