Feb 10A Collusion of Angles
by Janneke
In a collusion of angles, two opposites collaborate in a newly found structure.
Searching for a way to integrate structures in my work, I used the geometric forms of the tangram puzzle. Shapes are created around the body with either flowing or rigid forms. Flowing lines are interrupted or disturbed by angles. They make parts of the garments protrude from the body, creating unexpected shapes with a renewed elegance. The body is loosely wrapped in large geometric forms.
The materials resulted in a collision between natural fabrics, such as felt wool, silks, leathers, and synthetic materials; such as transparent polyester and polished surfaces.
Shoes were developed with a wooden structure inspired by the Kapla principle in collaboration with Miriam van Weeghel. The rigid heel structure forms an aligned collusion with the fluent lines formed in the garments.
