SOLO SHOW AT DISPLAY BERLIN 2019
Is an extension of my CSM Graduate Fashion Print Collection so Mind Your Head!!
The Outlet at Display was to showcase the additional elements of my graduate collection, which would normally be categorised as ‘waste’. In order to recontextualise my processes, scans, tests, unused prints and textiles of my degree show, I gave them the space to present themselves.
The show consisted of, ‘waste’ products and re-established formats:
For example, my scans were printed and then draped and shaped in resin
(see next slide). The car window was an additional found object that was sourced from a scrapyard. It acts as a portal for my unused prints to be displayed over and is a sculpture to be viewed from both sides.
Furthermore, the jumper prints (see right), were labelled and sold as ‘outlet products’ and re-evaluate the process of design once more.
The term outlet itself is a humorous way to indicate they’re ‘imperfection’ and otherness. This also sets a tone of urgency for the viewer. Think Black Friday, but in an installation.
My graduation collection was a big health and safety issue! Please mind the gap.
Thank you, thank you, Thank you
