Sustained Investigation
Portfolio #7
L.G. 2020-2021
artist statement:
My idea for my concentration is recycled fashion as a reflection of society. I answered the question “what does our waste say about the way we live life?” I chose this because pollution is a huge issue that we are facing today, and a lot of issues with society can be portrayed through our trash. Another big thing that plays a role in our society is the clothes we wear. In my sustained investigation I created a series of garments and accessories that make statements addressing prominent parts of society. Each one of my pieces reflects a different aspect of society, such as technology, poverty, pollution, capitalism, and current events. Every material used for each piece is in direct relation to the issue or aspect that I am portraying through each piece
