If you are all up to date with all your assignments . . . maybe you could set about drawing a sketchbook of your favourite clothes. This would help you with your design work. It would help you with rendering different fabrics, details and fastenings. To inspire you, here are some charcoal drawings by Amy Sollins. (thanks)
Installations by artist Derick Melander using old clothes.
"I create large geometric configurations from carefully folded and stacked second-hand clothing. These structures take the form of wedges, columns and walls, typically weighing between five hundred pounds and two tons. Larger works are often site-responsive,creating discrete environments."
"As clothing wears and fades, stains and stretches, it becomes an intimate record of our physical presence. it traces the edge of the body, defining the boundary between the self and the outside world." Derick Melander
