This body sculpture was made on a female figure. I made it using calico and silk. I dyed each fabric using blue and teal brusho dyes to create an ombre blend; I got the idea from researching Elie Saab’s Spring/Summer 2015 collection. I then screen printed patterns onto the fabric which I had created from my drawings of water. Next I cut the fabric into strips, folded the fabric down the middle vertically and stitched into it creating a channel. Wire was then pushed through the channels, ruched, placed on the mannequin and hand stitched together. It was completed in 12 hours.
