Inspiration, Manci

I plan to use organza as my basic material. I looked up the works of the artist Benjamin Shine because he used tulle to represent his ideas. Many of us realize the fragile characteristic of tulle or organza or any other gauze-like material, but I appreciate that Benjamin overcame the difficulty of using the textile, considering that it is very soft and thus hard to control.  Benjamin also played well with the tangible materials and give them untouchable smoke-like effect. I am interested in the techniques he applied to support the fabrics and make them stand on their own.

In the panel that I will make, I want to reserve the uncertainty of the material. The shape of the panel would be close to circular, since my idea is that the street performers spread their passion like radiation to surroundings.

I want to sew a pillow like structure with organza and put the content inside. The pillow would probably be lying rather than standing or hanging.
