Last week I was assigned to deconstruction group. There have been restrictions when designing for Barbara and the deconstruction group is no different. I am not allowed to cut the garments I'm using, only pin and drape.
These restrictions allow me to design something I wouldn't of been able to without the restriction. As the piece wasn't imagined, or pre designed, I discover elements I didn't think possible.
I revel when deconstructing.
I think of my deconstruction work as organic because the designs are pure from the start, I don't determine how the piece will end. I have no preconception of what I'm creating until it's whole. The finished designs remind me of organic earthy shapes. When I look through the process of my deconstruction, its natural evolution is clear.
