AMALGAM
amalgam (n.) - A combination of diverse elements; a mixture.
My thesis will explore the concept of collage...I am interested in the effects and new meanings that can result from taking things apart and putting them back together in unexpected ways.
One approach I would take is to create an online outfit generator where one could up-load photographs of pieces of clothing from their own wardrobe. The site would then cre-ate outfits using these pieces. By automating and randomizing the process of choosing an outfit to wear, a new outlook on one’s own wardrobe, and the clothing combinations possible, could be achieved.
CAROLINE MATHEWS
BRIEF 1:
Back to basics - Create a series of collages that question relationships and make interesting new compositions by taking things apart and putting them back together in unexpected ways.
By hand and/or digitally done using images and/or text.
BRIEF 2:
Document someone’s wardrobe in photographs and map out and show visually the many differ-ent possibilities of clothing combinations. Then figure out how many of the combinations are suc-cessful in terms of wearability, practicality, and personal style.
