Anna Boyd
Body Sculpture
Fashion and architecture meet experimentation and innovation.
In this project, Art Foundation student Anna was required to design and construct a sculptural form that could be worn on the body. The sculpture was constructed out of circles, squares and triangles. Since the 1980s, a growing number of avant-garde designers have come to approach garments as architectural constructions, while many in the field of architecture have boldly embraced new forms and materials using techniques like pleating, seaming, folding, and draping.
Students considered the link between fashion and architecture through experimentation and innovation with structure, form and shape, using a range of methods and processes. Anna used recycled drawings, created on a variety of papers, which she cut into squares and rolled to create her sculptural outfit in two days.
Anna has completed her Art Foundation Diploma Course at Derby College, and has secured a place to study Fine Art at Kingston University, London.
