Material Alchemy: Olivia Fagon's Head Dress


For me this project really synthesized the ideas of function and form. Transforming the newspaper was about changing its context and changing the ways its presented. I worked on creating different surfaces with layering and weaving in order to make the newspaper a more ambiguous material that we can appreaciate from a purely visual sense. Additionally by choosing to create a head dress I wanted the material to make a very specific impression: authority, commanding, luxurious, power...etc. These all come to mind when you see the object so i think this it was pretty successful.
