The Power Of Making
As I walked in I saw a giant gorilla made out of coat hangers, which was made by the scottish artist David Mach. It had such intricate detail up close it was beautifully constructed. The thing that struck me most about was the craftsmanship and the unusual, unique pieces that were shown. Although the exhibition was smaller than I thought there would have been there was lots packed into it. The projections of the makers actually making their pieces was great to see, as it is quite a rare thing to see at an exhibition, it was unreal how much more interesting this made the exhibition for me personally. The exhibition ranged from couture dresses made from leather and pins to tables and chairs to high fashion prostate limbs.
Marzipan and sugar baby.
The thing that interested me enormously were the cakes that were made to look like babies, they were immaculate. This was made by Michelle Wibowo out of completely edible materials.
The Coding Dress
The QR code beaded clothing was amazing it was discovered at this years RCA exhibition Thorunn Arnadottir used Swarovski crystals which can be read by smartphones.
The Spray-On Dress and The Moth Hole Mender.
The spray on dress was created by Manel Torres who created 'Fabrican' whilst studying at RCA, the title is as it says, it is fabric in a can. The moth hole mender 'Woolfiller' was developed by Heleen Klopper, to revive old clothes.
