WEARABLE TEXTILES CONFERENCE

Tutorial with Pauline made me realise that I have
to make some tough decisions. First of all, I have
to focus my research and my aims for the project.
 I feel that even though I know what I am doing, it
was missing the whole concept description.
I was a little bit frustrated, because I feel that 
I am working all the time but there are no significant
results yet. 

I had to make it clearer and obvious to someone who 
doesn't know anything about this project. 

I spend 2 hours on phone with my dad / the biggest 
critique / and he was asking me questions about this 
project in sense of problem solving, aims, approaches etc. 

I came into conclusion that I was missing the 
' finish line' . I had al the thoughts very unorganised
 and this self reflective talk helped me to not only 
learn how to present the ideas clearly but also focus
 on only relevant thought/solutions. 

Fixing my Proposal again.... hoping it is getting better.,..

- I have had an idea to contact
 LMB group/ company that collects 
unwanted clothes and ship them to 3rd
 world countries or Africa/ in purpose 
to get more primary research imagery and 
possible sponsorship  / collaboration?

-exhibition day: DESIGN MUSEUM/ 
Fear and Love EXHIBITION

-themes: networked sexuality, sentient robots, 
slow fashion and settled nomads.

The exhibition asserts that design is deeply 
connected not just to commerce and culture but
to urgent underlying issues – issues that 
inspire fear and love.

 the large draping surfaces by carefully assembling 
sacks imported by the Ghana Cocoa Board and repur-
posed by charcoal sellers. The sacks present patches, 
markings and traces of traders’ names and locations
 on their rough brown skin, which map out the many 
transits they endure as vessels of commodities.
 The artist occasionally decorates them with the
 insertion of mass-produced Chinese–African print
 patchwork adding yet another layer of interpreta-
tion of the global movement of goods. The fact 
that fabric constitutes a marker of identity as 
well as a sign of particular occasions in the 
African context turns these insertions into a 
kind of portraiture of the wearers. 

HOARDING

Compulsive hoarding, also known as hoarding
disorder, is a pattern of behavior that is
 characterized by excessive acquisition and 
an inability or unwillingness to discard 
large quantities of objects that cover the
living areas of the home and cause significant
distress or impairment.

Starting my Project Proposal Draft. Went
 quiet well,, finished The First and 
The Last section , now I am only missing
 The middle part which is detailed description 
of Project Concept and my aims- going to do
 that tomorrow.

I also went to print out some of my research 
images, I am going to start collage tomorrow.

I came in to the conclusion that I need to 
get advice from someone at CSM. I am not quiet
 sure if I am heading the right direction.

RESEARCH WEEK DAY 3:

Today was quiet unfortunate, because
there was no internet access at CSM.
That made my day in the library quiet 
difficult . 

Based on my research from yesterday, I wanted
 to find more artist that were interested in
 relation between mankind and nature. I was
 researching the exhibition
 New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered 
Landscape, held in 1975 at the International 
Museum of Photography, couldn't find enough 
information. The book was also issued,so I have
decided to look at the artists that are mentioned 
in there separately. Later on , I started to 
write the bibliography and I updated my 
research. I think I have to get some more of 
primary research and to go to see some 
exhibitions over the weekend. Also, I feel that 
I should get some print  outs/ if the printers 
are going to work/ and to start to do some 
collages and samples.

Highlights, ideas based on researched photographers :

STEVEN SHORE - capturing seaside, construction for 
the safeguarding of Venice and its lagoon

STUART WHIPPS- disappearing art and vanishing 
architecture

BERNDT AND HILLA BECHER - gas tanks, water towers,
 loving the rough construction

LEWIS BALTZ - very minimalistic, monochrome, 
tactile, reminding me of the modernist architecture a lot

RESEARCH WEEK DAY 2:
