Wearable
Soon I am going to ask Londoners from all walks of life to write me a message. In Hyde Park and elsewhere - together we are going to write the poem of our collective subconscious and I will call it Today. /
When artwork generates several outcomes and when work pushes its way into different mediums /
I created Winter with this simple purpose in mind, with a frame from Winter Diagrams: December.
And the making of Winter:
Winter wearable artwork /
Winter is a wearable artwork based on a frame form Winter Diagrams: December, animated pen and ink drawings. This whole struggle with paintings that look like dresses comes from a single well - I have always pushed the third dimension in my drawings and this comes directly from being a 3d artist for so long. My brain has been completely rewired to think three-dimensionally. I can't imagine a satisfactory flat plane and there is this anxiety to twist it in another direction.
The thirst for dimension pushed me to animate the drawings, and, in turn, to take the animated drawings in yet another dimension with the wearable work. The wearability comes from sensory seeking, craving tactile things, feeling the work with the whole body, literally occupying the work.
