Forces Of Nature
Looking
for an initial concept theme took me a very long time. As I wanted to push the
boundaries and pick something that I have never done before and will allow me
to create an unusual collection. I looked at various aspects of nature from
under the sea right the way to space and atmosphere, and first came up with a
name of Natures Elements, but I felt this didn't quite explain exactly what I
wanted to do. However the idea I found most interesting gave me the title
'Forces of Nature' this will allow me to have a broad spectrum of inspiration
into theme colour and fabric. My first thought into forces of nature was
natural disasters, in which I collected a number of different imagery from storms
to tsunamis. Most of these natural disasters resulted in destruction and
wreckage, which allowed me to look into weathered buildings and shattered
architecture. After looking into devastated aftermaths I was inspired by
layering and mix of different weighted fabrics. The quote "the calm after
the storm" came to mind after some of these images. As in some images
everything is calm but left in a mix matched disheveled state, as people and
nature are trying to slowly rebuild. The layering images made me direct towards
homelessness and post apocalyptic key words, as well as grunge. I have also
explored knitwear and ways of layering knit to create desired effects.
Altogether I have created a number of different boards that explore different
aspects of the theme “Forces of Nature.”
