Chair Scuptures
In today's session, we are making a sculpture that then can be translated into a garment.
I had to prepare the materials beforehand we need which are:
- Mutton Cloth
- Nylon tights
- Fabrics Scissors
- PVA Glue
To make this sculpture, In my group we took two chairs and arranged them into a different way so that we can get a unusual shape and style.
The next step is to apply the clingfilm around the chair, This is to protect the chair from the PVA glue.
Whilst applying the cling film, it is also starting to form the shape and develop its structure.
We started with tights and just attached them randomly around the chair. So far, I really liked how we started it because It is mixed and looked very interesting.
After that we decided to add the mutton cloth, the problem that we faced is that we should have put the mutton cloth first a base so that the design will be on top.
I have distressed and made holes to the mutton cloth and tights to add texture it made the piece to have depth and volume.
We applied the PVA glue, we mixed it with water to dilute the glue because it is too thick.
Whilst this was drying I started to sketch design ideas and sketch how it will look like on the stand. For next weeks session, the glue would have been dried and this will make the materials to be stiff.
This reminded me of a designer which uses sculptures for her design and the media she uses are paper.
