Structure on the body

Design and construct a sculptural form that can be worn on the body where the starting point is the 3d structures you made in paper and card, and your research from Broomfield.. You can use any media, RECYCLED where possible, which you should source yourself, or we also have a range available in the studio, including paper, wallpaper, fabrics etc.  

This does not have to be a fashion garment- do not be inhibited by the body- use it as a base to work on/ around.

Again, this should be abstract, and not be a covering of leaves etc.  Consider form, texture and surface, experiment with a broad variety media manipulation.  

You should generate your own ideas initially, but can work in pairs to develop an outcome together.

You should research artists and designers who make sculptural forms on the body, and you should plan your ideas carefully in your book before making.  Ensure you fully test materials, surfaces and structure before and during making the work, and record all your analysis in your journal and photographs.

Your final outcome must be photographed and filmed on a human form in the photography studio between 9.00 and 4.00, so make it to fit yourself or a specific model.  It may have a function, or can be purely a visual wonder! You should experiment with lighting, poses for photos and film..

Rowan Mersh is a multi-media sculptor who explores form through intuitive application of a material’s inherent qualities. His diverse and experimental approach to creation is epitomised by his ability to take very ordinary materials and transform them into the extraordinary. From textile sculpture to kinetic and interactive installation, Mersh’s pieces are inventive and multipurpose, bridging the realms of art, design and fashion.
