Creative form

Hi all!! 

It's so good to be a TEKO student again. We finally started some creative stuff here ar BA-TOP UP!
The project is called "creative form" and it's based on creating garment inspired by the chosen sculpture.
The first day we were introduced into the aim and general idea of the project, as well as to the samples and workshops. We started from creating swatches of various fabric/plastic/paper installation ideas, I mean, we were using those three things to develop a nice structure on a square thick paper.
It was a challenge for me haha :)

Those here are my samples, I am quite dissapointed with what I did with plastic, people did fantastic things!


And then, YAAAAY , we had to transfer our swatches on mannequin, and create a sculpture out of chosen eithe paper,fabric or  plastic, it was also possible to mix things together. I chose fabric, and started with no idea as the teacher asked not to plan and just LET IT GO, let it develop, let it grow. Sooo, well, I think my idea is like woven spaghetti, and I really wish to finish it, put some more volume and tangle it even  more!




Now we have to find pictures which will show the image of the chosen sculpture.
My sculpture is made by a polish, still living ( 94 years old ) artist, Magdalena Abakanowicz.
I chose her piece "Turqouise Abakan" because.. it's simply amazing!! 


I have a lot of key words of things I see here, we were doing a lot of investigations and teacher gave us feedback whether our sculpture is good for this project or not. 
My keywords for this sculpture are:
  • connection
  • mother nature
  • earth
  • human body
  • veins
  • symbiosis
  • misty, old forest
  • two bats hanging together
  • electricity 
  • jungle
  • thunders
  • wires
  • organs


So I searched all the Internets and found interesting pictures, I will just show you few of them as my folder indicates the number of 50






Hopefully tommorow we will start sketching! :)
