For this assignment, I started to think about changes in form through gathering the material and shirring it into uniform folds. With this manipulation, you can transform the…
For this assignment, I wanted to explore more controlled movements of the cloth using the capstan software and touch pad. I wanted the cloth to move more freely,…
While conceptualizing the piece, I found that when I tugged on the strings of my fabric how I had shirred it, that the motion appeared almost like a…
My exploration of gathering and shirring fabric with the capstan started with simply making the gathering happen. As you can see in the beginning of the video, I…
Initially while exploring basic gathering and shirring techniques, I had started to experiment how the fabric might react with holes ripped in the middle of the fabric, with…
In the end, I found that the patterns I made of alternating between pressing the opposite sides created predictable yet always slightly different motions that were turbulent.
I created this setup with one string that ties together, stitched along the perimeter of the entire cloth, and two strings knotted at opposite ends going diagonal through…
The fabric was gathered in a zigzag pattern up the middle, as well as at two corners. Most of the movements seemed more animal-like in nature than what…
I first wanted to do a irregular(non-linear) gathering with the two line mechanism that can control contracting and relaxing, but I wasn’t able to make relaxing work. So…
