The last two days have been pretty full on, and realising the time frame and complexity of the garments is scary. I just have to stay focused and try not to sweat the small stuff.
I met up with Caz today and she showed me some of the first images from the modelling programme she is using. It was great to see the designs transform from 2D to 3D and to hear the ideas she had for the project. I’ve decided not to go down the road of getting a full scale piece made for a couple of reasons. Talking with Caz she pointed out that constructing it would be a project in itself (and quite expensive), and with the time period we have, it may not be finished as well as it could. The point of the exhibition was to show another application of my work, and seeing the images Caz brought in today, they do this. Karen pointed out yesterday that the wood piece I created for assessment didn’t project my ideas as well the rest of my work. Seeing the models on the computer today I realised that although it would be great to have another physical piece in conjunction with the collection, it’s not necessary to show the idea/message behind it.
These are very basic images, and once the models are rendered they can be made to look like wood/steel/perspex etc, so we can push the materials and design to be more complicated than if it had to be made.
The exhibition would have a projection of the models (which can zoom around the models), perhaps one garment and one small scale model of one of the outcomes. This is what we’re both aiming for and I think it’s more realistic and hopefully the effect will be just as effective in communicating the message.
