Critique with peers
At this point I was looking to do something interactive to see what people's outputs were so I created different clothing silhouettes for them to put together.
The feedback I received was:
- Could using a hybrid identity be more of an educational tool or exploration?
- Piece of self-reflection?
- Conduct a workshop?
- A work that documents process, the meaning of certain clothing pieces?
- If i'm looking at representing a culture 'as per compass' I definitely need to have their input and feedback and incorporate them into the whole process.
After the critique I reflected on what was said and finally decided to change the direction I'm headed in. I want to now do a self-exploration of myself, my perspective and make it educational as well.
New compass below:
It looks like I'll be creating a book/ journal which will include looking at tradition then how my own working drawings can develop the traditional into something more modern but still keep certain elements.
There will be pages of the actual traditional garment - how to pronounce it, it's history, when and how it's worn then on the other hand have hand drawn drawings that expand out into a more modern silhouette.
> Going from 'what is' to 'what can be' if both perspectives are combined
> Look at traditional Indian fabric covers for books and the binding. (my one below from home)
I now need to research the garments (still aimed at women) - India is huge so for now I'll be focusing on garments associated with myself.
Next step is to suss out the layout of this book/ journal and how I really want to document my own journey.
