MOODBOARD
FOR THIS PROJECT WE HAD TO USE RECYCLED PRODUCTS. THIS TIME I CHOOSE FISHING NETS, OLD PICTURES AND OLD LAND MAPS. THE BRIEF WAS VERY TEXTILE BASED.
TO CREATE A CONCEPT I RESEARCHED THE IRISH IMMIGRATION TO NORTH-AMERICA DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR. PEOPLE WOULD GO ON BIG BOATS TOGETHER AND WOULD GET LOST OR DIE AT SEA BECAUSE THE BOATS WERE TOO OVERCROWDED.
THE FISHING NETS I USED REPRESENTED THE BOATS AND THE MAPS AND OLD PHOTOS THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD GET LOST. TO MAKE THE FINAL PIECE MORE INTERESTING I DID AN EXPERIMENT WITH ORGANZA.
COSTUMER PROFILE
FINDING A 'COSTUMER' FOR THIS BRIEF WAS DIFFICULT SINCE IT IS MORE OF AN ART PIECE THEN SOMETHING PEOPLE WOULD REALLY WEAR.
THE POINT OF RECYCLING PLAYS A BIG PART AGAIN FOR THIS COSTUMER. ALS THIS COSTUMER WILL PROBABLY BE VERY INTO VINTAGE AND ART.

TO CREATE THE EFFECT OF THE 'BARNACLES' I USED ORGANZA WHICH I MOULED IN THE OVEN WITH MARBLES WRAPPED WITH ELASTIC BANDS, THIS CREATED THE FORM OF A SEA BARNICLE
