I decided to submit to a local art project Art and Adaptation. I had the opportunity to submit up to 3 photos of works that could be displayed in light-up art boxes around my town. The theme was adaptation and transformation and how this applies to our local context: so why not enter some transformed garments, since the reuse and recycle movement is so strong here?
My concept was that I would take before and after photos of my dyed garments and I pictured them as mirror images.
No other available model but myself!
A pity this one blurred! Oh well, learning experience, and I took other photos.
This shirt.. was not flattering!
I think the ones with me in them are probably more interesting than just the clothes, but I tried some of them too.
The next stage is seeing how they turn out after the dye... could be anything!
The flowers are loving the bits of rain we get at the moment 😃
Another day of dyeing. Aaaaaand..... the results!
Mixed results with the photography.
And with the success of the dye. I had a couple that I could work with though.
A bit of photoshop and creativity, and this is what I came up with.
I didn't end up submitting the green dress, because I didn't think it was interesting enough. People are much better subjects.
I was really happy with this one in the end, though trying to take outdoor photographs in the tropics WHILE WEAR WOOL is crazy!
But this is probably my favourite, especially the 'after' shot.
