Here are some photographs form my sketchbook of my research.
Tribal
I looked at street tribes such as punk rockers and then hippies. The leather interested me with the punk rockers and the suede and feathers of the hippies.
I looked at the deacay of the human body. The aging process and wrinkles. I also looked at the decay of animal carcasses in the wild.
Electric
I looked at the subway. Having gone to New York with the college for the week of research I felt I should research something that related to the trip. Ialso looked at electronic devices such as CD's and records. I also researched musical instruments specifically the electric guitar.
Memories
I looked at scars on the human body. I also looked at tattoo's as a form of a personal memory, also I looked at the brain as a mechanism for storing memories.
Enclosure
I firstly looked at bondage and chains and restraint. Ithen moved onto houses. specifically victorian houses which are painted various bright colours and also sky scrappers of New York which The photographs i my sketchbook were taken myself.
I want to mix the angular, architectural features of the sky scrappers with the traditional, decorative features of the victorian houses.
My chosen shapes
Digital print that I want to use. I printed it myself on my home printer on the back of a cream leatherette.
Samples of fabrics and materials I might work with, such as ; lace, leatherette, string mesh, and wadding.
