This is kind of the path of the thoughts I was taking, and it generated a few ideas/topics to dig into/directions to go.
I want to continue to research:
- animal craftsmen, and the craft and function of bird nests
- what you can “read” in a nest — what story is it telling
- how is story told in fashion, especially in the craft of haute couture
What stories do I care about? I DON’T KNOW
Prototypes to make:
- nest jacket — mesh jacket stuffed with leaves and straw and the stuff of birds nests
- how insulating is it?
- how warm would it be in winter?
- how would it decay?
- would it decay in pace with the seasons?
- traveling clothes
- what were Edwardian traveling clothes for and how were they considered?
- what is a modern version of traveling clothes?
- make a set of traveling clothes for myself, and wear them to Shanghai
- what do bird nests do outside of hold eggs? make a garment that could do similar things for a human
- does it look nesty?
- does it do the things but look different?
