Light development

These are developments that have been produced from the information gathered from slow shutter speed images. I focused on making interesting shapes from the light captured.

Snakes on a plane...piece of paper

I had a small epiphany on the way home, my buzz word was wrapped and I hadn't put anything about snakes in my book...Until now.

This was the starting point

Decided to look at the forms/shapes and patterns

Went on to develop ideas and garment shapes

Wrapped together

I made this mood board out of loose images that I had in my sketch book

Playful type

This is how I got the idea to make a 3-D representation of this sketch that I made as I was working on my Swiss army jacket i made this poster an army orientated one.

Sketch

A quick sketch of one of my wearable structures.

Snap

I saw this jacket on the bus and it reminded me of the work i have been doing with slow shutter speed light images.

Rule based print

Repeat pattern made using shape made from rule based art.

Pleat

It was time that I put my pleating into practice so I thought that I should make a small pleat sample. The process was quite quick as I made a simple pleat.

The first step was to evenly divide two pieces of paper into 3cm lines

The next step was to score the paper and put the fabric in between both sheets.



The last step was to compress the paper and fabric and to steam it to imprint the pleats



And heres the outcome of the process



Fold, Score...too much scoring

So I was at home and thought that it was long over due to make some paper folds so I sat down got my paper and ruler and my copy of Supersurfaces: Folding as a Form Generaion Method in Architecture by Sofia Vyzoviti (a worth while book to have on the shelf) and got cracking

It only occurred to me when I had finished that the paper I used wasn't thick enough so the folds didn't stay as rigid as they should have been.

Figure heads...Philippe Petit

This man is the definition of going after your goals If you don't know who this man is this is Philippe Petit aka the man who wire walked from the top of one world trade centre to another. He had never been to NYC prior to his walk and before the twin towers were made he had already said I am going to wire walk across them. I urge everyone to watch the epic Documentary of his Battle and preparation to go after his goal. (The film is entitled Man On a wire)

Return of the Mack

Dude its 6am

So the other day I was on my way to work (the dreaded morning shift) and I got on the tube at 6 am, and  to my delight there was a balloon artist decorating my carriage with balloons, I suddenly got super excited and started to take photos and the other passengers were looking at me like "what is this guy doing"... all I done was take a photo, theres a balloon artist and I'm the wiredo Hmmmmmm

This is why I love London town!!!
