- If you were to create an original disguise for yourself (or for someone in your community), what would it be?
- Or if you were a spirit animal or an inanimate object, what would you be? Why?
- What context would the transformation take place in?
- What are some materials or textures that would make interesting combinations to provoke a sensation or an idea?
I will like to make a cat disguise, a soft texture that made with fur and textile. I have two cats, a disguise may make them think I am also one of them. So the costume should flurry and soft. This also remains me of the musical theater Cats.
I think their custom is not only a cat but also a reflection of their characteristic. since it is a musical, there is more narrative, and the disguise is also part of the story.
I did work with soft texture before, and I really enjoy the process. I do waving between branches and wire, combine soft material with mixed media.
Base on this, I did some research about:
These are from Moheb Zandi, who did a lot of weaving with mixed media and textile art.
It looks really interesting to combine different kinds of fur, textile and yarn, and wave them into one.
