Ok so I like the idea of a "process video" for every piece I finish in theory, but I hate making them and I also hate watching them so maybe I need to revaluate my art documentation plan? Posted a new one on my YouTube to cover my bases and posting about it here to even out my grid ;). So for the concept exploration of this piece I learned some pretty morbid stuff. According to the @cfda (who have a great materials index on their website) polyester is absolutely horrible for the environment starting at creation and ending with disposal. Chemical air pollution, micro-plastics, landfills, this durable fabric adds to all of the above. It is also insanely common, we are all probably wearing it right now. Erosion is the result of a call-for-art prompt from @clearlinezine calling creators to, “consider the textile’s industry’s ties to carbon emissions,” with a lavender color scheme. The dress is hand-dyed in increments so the top was submerged in the dye bath for the least amount of time and the bottom was submerged for the longest amount of time. This slow and subtle gradient represents humanity’s relationship with climate change. So gradual it is easy to ignore until it is too late. The cotton wrap depicts fashion’s beautiful chokehold on our society. (9) (8) (7) (6) (5) (4)
