Things just fall into place…
A friend emailed me information on a Bauhaus costume making workshop in the Lighthouse Glasgow. What perfect timing!
Preparation led me to dancer Martha Graham (who’s work was introduced to me by my aunt in New York who was her nurse) and in particular a piece titled Lamentation. This is expressing mourning which I have interests in the non-verbal language here but its the costume she wore which held my interests. A lavender jersey tube that encased her body leaving head, hands and feet exposed. Grahams dance concentrated on minimal costumes apposed to set design/backdrops.
I had been using metallic 2 way lyrca in a group project which surprisingly encouraged a lot of peer interaction that would not of happened without the fabric.
Very sculptural.
