Personal tutorial with Isabel

03 October 2019

  • Discussed various functions for wearables – based on inputs by peers and readings
  • Could make further drawings from Kew Gardens
  • Decided to start collecting and making with materials, continue to read unexpected pleasures book, study of human body and body language

Discussion with Summer:

  • What value can I offer through the proposed objects?
  • Kinetic butterfly – community empowerment over art scene
  • What context can I put it in?
  • How do I want my work to be perceived? What do I want it to say?
  • Personal opinion – statement, compliments people receive – conversation starter/ feel-good factor more than how they look – could be a good way of making an important statement
  • reflect your personality – style, trend, cool
  • symbolism – ritualistic – meanings of each piece –

Notes for possible material exploration:

  • Unconventional (not often associated with jewellery) materials
  • air plants against mesh – living jewellery?
  • ideate around specific people – personalities – based on research inputs
  • woven wire box – hot house

Further Drawing from space, integrating materials:
