Things I have sewn this year: Not enough.
Above:
silk curtain bag for uni,
short lace top without sleeves and with large, superfluous diamond panel,
light pink long-sleeved desperately basic top because I was cold.
Below:
black dress, no sleeves, approximately knee-length with v-shaped very low plunging back,
black tshirt, with sort of not really sleeves. and unedged.

Conclusion:
do better.

Film stills.
Thought process:
(for drawing concept + research)
Prove you exist.
How do I know I exist?
(I don't)
How do I seem to exist to myself?
What about where I can't directly see?
What if I covered my back in paint according to how my back feels... squishy/bones/so forth.
...
or it just seemed personally amusing.
Connection to clothing:
bulky clothing, clothing with shaping, clothing which disguises form and the body undearneath...
initial thought was to put the paint on clothing. So that the body underneath was less disguised.
And it was supposed to be like a visual representation of how the body underneath would respond to pressure. Which you don't see. Under shaped clothing.
*blinks*
Whatever,
I made a film for uni/amusement. These are stills:



Fin.

Next post might involve fabric of some kind.
And until then, the commands of the Title still apply.
