Project(s): Me, My Mask, & I + Art & Sole
In their recent projects, Me, My Mask, & I and Art & Sole, Soft Sculpture I students explored the body as both a site and a vessel for creative expression. Beginning with familiar, functional objects – a face mask and a pair of shoes – students were challenged to move beyond utility and transform the everyday into wearable works of art. Through patterning, sewing, construction, and material experimentation, each student created something that moved beyond function to become an extension of the self. Together, these projects encouraged students to consider how what we wear can communicate who we are, turning objects designed to cover, protect, or carry the body into playful and/or deeply personal extensions of identity.
