Development

After scanning in a drawing i had done i continued to manipulate it. I'm really happy with this outcome but i now want to try using a different image, possibly from a photograph but i like the idea of fabric being used as skin and i think the text adds another dimension to this.

Development of ideas

Dress

these are some photo's of the dress/vest so far. I wanted to create a garment or at least something that could just be worn that displayed a range of different fastenings and fixings and this is my start

Research

I have looked at Chris Milk's work for my photography A2 aswel and i really like the idea of short, quick shots of movement and using a lot of colour.

Initial Idea

My initial idea for making a short film for my artwork is to film a number of different fixings & fastenings being used. Everything from shoe laces to zips, buttons, screws and padlocks. I'd like to make the clips very short and then play it on a loop, with the sound of the fixing or fastening, for example the sound of a zip i feel would be really intersting.
