I put the corset on the tree, thinking about how it is a tool which controls what is natural. Viewing a corset as a tool has opened my mind to new possibilities (for example, incorporating or using other elements where I can use control or the loss of control as a theme to work with.
I the above photos and videos I ripped holes in the corset to Illustrate the loss of control, and even the failure of this tool. I think this could be a fun thing to work with in the future, because it honestly looked so gross.
I then did an experiment where I made fat packs out of hosiery and cotton, which was fun. I don’t know if ill do anything with this in the future but it was good as an experiment.
