No To Colour

After thinking about using colour for my piece and making my coloured half bra test piece i have decided to carry on not using colour because i feel that it is a more stronger design with no colour it looks a lot more like glass and that is what i think i am aiming for with this.

Number of knives

Number of Knives used on half the bra is Thirteen

Dale Chihuly

So my last test piece the coloured one made me feel like my work looked inspired by the work of Dale Chihuly's work with coloured glass because i feel that my test pieces look glass like and they also kind of have the same form as dale's coloured glass chandelier so i think my work relates to his work very well.

COLOURED =]

So i made a coloured one =]

 Here is my classmate Alex modeling my coloured bra test piece i like the pleased look on his face in this picture.

Idea

After looking at my test piece i realised that it looks like half of a bra so i think im gonna roll with that idea and see where it takes me.

Digital Images I took of It

Some images i took of my test piece. 

 In the picture above i noticed that there was a reflection of some colours in it so maybe make a coloured one??

Making It

So i started making it using plastic knives which i know is a secondhand material but it's made and available now so for this test i think it's fine but later on i may cut some knives out of plastic using the jigsaw in the workshop. 

 

  This is the finished test piece =]

Another Knife Test

Even though the rest of the brief said that you can't do any head pieces i still really love the form of my paper knife sculpture that robin so kindly modeled for me so im gonna go ahead and try to make it anyway without thinking that it's going to be a head piece and just see what the form makes it.

The rest of the brief

Just got the rest of the brief that has the list of options of what we can aim towards making as a final piece and from looking at it and looking at the work i have already done i think i am going to go with my earlier decision of the body adornment one, but on the rest of the brief here it says that you can't make anything boring so no head pieces, bracelets or necklaces nothing that has been done a thousand times before. Maybe a little rethink of ideas.
