Materials Reaction: Making to Contrasts

With an investigative material lead approach, “materials reaction…” consists of couture fashion pieces, based upon key tactile and property phrases: "SOLID / MALLEABLE; STRETCH / WITHDRAW; SOFT IRIDESCENCE; CUSHIONED CHAOS; INTRICATE CONTORTION; OPEN / DENSE and VIVID NETS." Leaning into my innate desire to make first and with a CMF interest, this project has evolved from contrast based “Little Makes”, taking imagery, construction and property inspiration from these developed groupings. As a key part of my concept I collaborated with Photographer Jacob Cramp to document my "little makes" and final pieces, merging disciplines to create atmospheric photographs of shared creative input.
