Triangulated T-shirt #2
Conway sent me this amazing wooden carpet piece by a Central St. Martins grad named Elisa Strozyk, and I was really interested in the way that this piece moves, and I loved the way that it draped in this photo of it as a blanket over the model. This prototype is an attempt to apply a similar principle using only fabric. To create this, I layered raincoat canvas with two layers of interfacing and cut it into equilateral triangles to make this type of tile I saw in Strozyk's piece, except that her equilateral triangles are further divided into triangles joined at a center point. I think that, despite the two layers of interfacing, the fabric I used still doesn't have the crispness of her wooden triangles. However, I like that such a simple building block as this equilateral triangle form, printed to look like more triangles than it is, can create this additional illusion of depth. - klee
