STITCH light shades - The delicate, organic see-through forms mould themselves into intricate and elegant lights. My work is concerned with the physical allure of materials. Using a unique construction process of stitching, I can create a spiralling structure, which casts ambient shadows around the room.
The little black cocktail dress - I have developed a fabric that is made from approximately 160,000 dyed cocktail sticks. This project was an exploration of the connections between fashion and art that looks at the appeal of clothes in relationship to the body.
Similar to armour, the cocktail dress extends the body’s boundaries creating a protective layer. The dynamic relationship between the optical and tactile effect, adds new meaning to the term, ‘the little black dress’. The fabric of sticks comes to life when on the body, becoming flexible and audible with a gentle rippling effect.
