Spirals, Details, Volumes and Engineered Draping
My focus for the collection is to add value to garments by utilising textile manipulation to transform fabrics into not only clothing but also a wearable art form, therefor it is valuable for investment and friendly for environment.
At this moment, I focus on the shirring technique stitched in a random motion. Because shirring configuring fabric with rolling folds released between rows of gathering, the pinched, puckery stitching lines form the art-look patterns in big and loud volumes. One of my stitch lines is a perfect spiral, for which I was looking for tools or some method to achieve. There we are, the first art work by Tauba Auerbach solves my problem. The second drawings by Robert Horvitz depicts the story and feelings of my manipulation, which give viewers the sense of static and movement, random lines in deliberated patterns. The third drawing by Tara depicts the effect of the fabric fall I am aiming for by using shirring manipulation.
