Project XX is a dress I Constructed using paper and wood for my Spatial dynamics mid-term. The concept of the project was to use our paper-making and woodshop skills to create something. The sketch on the left is one of the draft designs for the final dress.
When I started the dress, I was set on the whole thing being paper or wood. My Professor encouraged me to include cloth and other non-paper elements to create contrast. The skirt is made up of a wire base with paper mache on top. The corset is muslin with paper sewn over it with wood boning and handmade buttons. The earrings are wire-covered in paper. All the paper used to make up the corset and skirt is handmade.
