My project was intended to re-create the seemingly endless liminal spaces that appear as a background to my dreams, such as never-ending malls or hotel corridors. Inspired by Elsa Schiaparelli’s evening jackets which often are heavily embellished with a boxy silhouette, I used a jacket as the base for my design. The front of the suit painted like a door, which I glued door handles to instead of buttons which I felt added to the surrealism of the piece and imitated Schiaparelli’s embellishments. Inspired by the surrealist animation Puparia (2020) by Shingo Tamagawa, on the inside I painted a hallway that runs through many different spaces or rooms, denoted by different patterned wallpapers.The colors of the wallpapers are in a pattern of yellow, blue\/green and red which create the feeling of distance along with the green carpet that runs down the hallway towards the door, creating radial lines from the door. I wanted the pop of yellow in the middle to be a focal point around the door, and to use a lot of red in the wallpaper since it is a complementary color to green of the suit. The blue and green break up the red; too much red would have a more threatening effect, which is not really the nature of my dreams. I tried my best to create many doors to create the feeling of this hallway that never seems to end. The suit consisted of two different fabrics, so my second door is through the inner fabric and the last door is through the back of the suit, so we never actually see how the hallway ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19294,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[39],"class_list":["post-19293","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-integrative-studio-seminar-1","tag-memory"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
