Following on from last week, our structure had dried and we cut the material off from the chairs. I was surprised that some areas had actually gone rock hard and moulded around parts of the chairs, which I was pleased about.
This is our structure just thrown on the mannequin. You can see that some areas of our tights/ mutton cloth has moulded around the shape of the chairs.
We then started experimenting with our structure. I really like the neckline we created and the bit jutting out on the left hand side.
The back view is a bit boring in comparison.
Again, using the same neckline but changing the bottom half and the back.
The back is very dramatic, much better than the last design.
The side view, to show how the mannequin doesn't determine the shape of the structure. I like the bits of material jutting out, not even touching the mannequin.
We then started to cut up our structure to create something different.
I really like the black piece of material that covers the chest and curves around the neck. The glue makes it stand up by itself. I also like the area on the left hand side on the hip. It's very different to the thicker parts of material.
We then used the rest of the material that we cut away and gathered it around the waist.
After looking at everyone else's mutton cloth and tights sculpture, I decided that if I were to do this exercise again, I would like to try and use just a big piece of mutton cloth. I was disappointed with how the tights performed and other people's work where they had used just mutton cloth were a lot better in my opinion. The mutton cloth sculptures remind me of Lamija Suljevic's work. The knitwear looks very similar to the mutton cloth and is very sculptural.
