Rebecca Belmore

After creating a photo series based on the struggles and frustrations of life and various choices, I was shown this photographer, Rebecca Belmore who's photographs closely resemble a few photographs in my collection. The figure that is wrapped in fabric creates a unique shape and reveals the fabrics' texture, and creates depth within the photograph. I have become extremely interested in the use of fabric within photography.

Memory

When thinking of a way to express the concept of memory, I immediately turned to the stories that can be tied to various garments of clothing.  Many people keep journals which often hold various memories and narratives. The relation between clothing and journals influenced the idea of creating dress of paper. These are a few images that were found for reference.  Jolis Paons is an artist that has created dress from paper, and explores the unique ways of folding techniques to add various textures.
