Circles

In my investigative work I noticed that many of the botanical forms were centred around circles and rings and I wanted to use this idea in my 3D work. I made various sized rings in calico fabric – if I was given more time for this project however, I would like to work with different textures and colours of material, ones that would better emulate the plants and forms that I have been looking at. I worked straight onto the mannequin with the calico rings, experimenting with the different ways I could attach them. My favourite is the one where the rings looped together and through each other, creating an almost chain like effect across the chest and shoulders.
