Hussien Chalayan

I went to see the Hussien Chalayan exhibition at the Design museum for inspiration.

Birds

I started looking at birds.

I found this bird in a book. I've forgotten what it was called, but it collects bits and bobs to decorate it's nest with. Bit like me!

Costume Influence

After identifying our needs, we were asked to design and make a costume based on them.

One of my influences was Riitta Ikonen.

I also was really intregued by the artist (not the singer) Nick Cave's Soundsuits. Some of them made me laugh alot.

The Author/Society Project

At the start of the Author/Society project, we were asked to draw and gather images that best expressed ourselves and our needs. Below are a few examples of my collages. I really loved doing them.

'Me' Collage

Tea-stained Failures

These are the final images I produced for the chair project. I really, really don't like them. I think they ruin my drawings. It was a really bad, late-at-night-got-to-hand-these-in-tomorrow decsion to tea-stain the background.

Behind the Photo Images

Images inspired by the old photographs. I tried to use the essence of the japanese art i was looking at in the layout. for the subject, i was thinking about what happened before, after, or at the same time as the photograph (but not in the frame).

Old Photographs

The next part of the project was to concentrate on a strand of research that we uncovered while looking at our chairs. I kept finding old photos of people using wicker furniture, as they were commonly used in photographer's studios.

These photos are some of the photos I developed further. There are more that I liked but didn't develop as much on my flickr.
