I was really excited to create this short video clip. Integrating a variety of different sounds helped with the overall tone and mood. I wish I had gotten more poses and angles, but it was raining and the mask is very fragile, so that was not possible
If I were to move forward with this, I would definitely make more masks and capture more actions and angles.
Overall, I’m happy with how many different avenues I’ve explored. I wish I had had this mindset earlier in the process, because it has been so freeing.
I’m starting to view fashion in a very different light. I’m interested in exploring fashion from a more, “immersive” angle. I have been reading the V&A’s book on Alexander McQueen, and I think one of the many factors that made him so successful was the fact that his shows were such a sensory experience. For example, his Joan of Arc (1998) collection included moving lights, fire, and music. A lot of his work was a performance. I think including these aspects would make my personal practice evolve and engage more viewers.
