Her work explores the narratives, of both historical as well as fictional characters. She is very influenced by film and costume, and spent some time during her childhood in the constume department at the Victoria and Albert museum. I really love the idea of spending time with contume and being able to escape into different eras or continents, the costumes work as a time machine transporting people whether their in the performance or watching it, the clothes are given so much power. It must be amazing to have the opportunity and the skills to be able to create such things. The clothes hold so much narrative and even more so when they are actually put to their function in a performance.
I had a tutorial with Una this afternoon, we discussed a few ways in which I could take things further….
• Try presenting latex on concrete
• Language
• Ethnological displays
• Questioning where things come from and their cultural use contrasting
their museum surroundings.
• Dallas Seitz
• Lindsay Seers
• Pitt Rivers
