Craft and Creation (The Dream Catcher)
Black and White Silver Print: Photogram
How does one translate the dream that is a lovely fashion concept sketch drawn on an alien of a woman to real fabric and stitches? It's a big jump from 2-D to 3-D and you can never get the proportions down just right. Size 0 becomes infinitely too large for your initial idea. Before you know it, you're dealing with something entirely different... The beads in my piece represent some sort of mystical craft (they were from a craft kit) by which one can take the essence of one thing and transform it into another. The flow of the beads spirals off abruptly to represent the depth of an unseen end. But before it runs off into nothing, the stream of beads passes through a dream catcher-like figure showing another manipulation of its path. From the initial inception to the final product, the idea has to pass through one more filter.
