I thought it was time to upload some images of the experimental work that I have embarked upon. I began by deconstructing one of my corsets, by removing the central lacing panel and then cutting away the infil fabric panels to leave the skeletons. I have been looking at these as sculptural forms.
The lacing panel and part of the skeleton are pinned to the wall and the resulting sculptures are analysed and sketched.
Some experimental, large scale french knitting produced a piece that was very corset like. In a moment of madness I decided to put the knitting on a wooden tripod style structure and turn the piece into a 'madonna' style art work.
I have also been experimenting with padding inside the skeleton and the use of text. This is ongoing and hasn't been resolved.
I will be back soon to keep you all updated.
