Shape exploration using tights and glue








I explored using an unusual medium of stretched tights over a basis of a chair with the intent of it being transferred to the human form. Initially the chair was covered in cling film and then flesh coloured tights were immersed in PVA glue and moulded onto the chair in a peculiar way with the intention of uncovering new shapes to investigate and transfer to fashion designs. I worked in a group of two to create this piece and felt that the added input of my partner helped influence the final outcome and the mix of both our ideas helped to further diversify the piece. I found the final shapes created very inspiring and when looking at others work who used the same method it showed completely new shapes which was also very intriguing.
