work in progress

My thesis work is coming along slowly but surely. I've never taken so much time and care with my work before (that may not be totally true but that's how I feel!). The objects I'm making are basically going to be playing people in movies I'm making, which makes me more attached to them. And the fact that they are giant! They're like my babies or something.

For my show I'm making large scale objects related to how women adorn themselves - ie make-up products and jewelry. The photos show my giant powder compact and lipstick and I'm currently working on a large diamond engagement ring - I'm really excited, but I'm going to keep the movie plots a secret for now.

back in the studio

I'm finally in my final semester, and have just stepped into my studio for the first time this semester. I had been seriously lacking in the inspiration department and didn't go to the studio once over break. Then I took the first week of school to plan and brainstorm. And today I worked. My show will consist of large scale objects typically associated with females that will play parts in movies. The first object I've started is a giant tube of lipstick that'll be about 3 feet tall.

I also had my day of lecture in history of fashion today, and it went by so fast! We're talking about principles of fashion, different reasons for dress and categories that different types of dress fit into. Having discussions and listening to Andrea (Varga - my teacher) talk is totally fueling my ideas and expanding my concepts. At the end of class we started talking abotu the third principle of fashion - seduction. I'm super excited to finish talking about that because a large part of my concept deals with the lure of these feminine objects and the roles that they play.

I'm really looking forward to this semester and seeing the evolution and project of my work. I'm curious to see how and if my work changes alongside this class and how learning about fashion throughout history will inform my subject matter.
