The project I want to do is based on the concept of the time flow of the creative process. The time flow would be represented in a 3D garment. The garment will be constructed of the process, process will be the garment. This means that the garment is constructed of illustrations and the pattern made in the process of creating a full garment. I want the layers of creation to be seen so it will be like a three tiered garment where from the bottom the view will be the initial process and as the eye travels up the garment will be more “finished.” The garment is essentially made of 2D and digital elements pertaining to the concept.
I would use a combination of illustrator, 2D, and 3D work. I would create sketches and notes on 2D while researching the project, illustrator to create the final sketch and the patterns for the dress, and 3D work to make the garment itself. The materials I will need will be: paper, a mannequin, sewing machine/thread, adobe/laptop, and fabric.
The concepts used would be a combination of Deleuze and design theory. Deleuze Because it’s process it can be seen as secondness because we’re consciously experiencing the process of creation. Design theory because I’m going to have to consciously decide on which theories to use and which to not to use in order to make a successful piece.
