@ Miss Fix –It Studio III

My work often splits in multiple directions with different concepts; one of the reoccurring themes is protection, which in this work is represented as a form of adaptation in society. In other work I have been considering the use of different languages in foreign societies.



As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve begun to feel an urgency to use the concept of protection in a new piece. This could be a way for me to deal with my new environment (Chicago). This new wearable piece has been a challenge for me because of the process and the material challenges. In the first attempt I tried to make the piece out of mattress foam. However, it seems that this foam is to weak of a material to use for this piece. I am thinking that thick felt will work the best for this piece. Here are the pictures of the first attempt with the foam.
