It's based on ivy and man (though admittedly it doesnt look much like ivy) both striving forth to survival without looking around to see what they are doing to what they need to survive and the destruction they cause.
It shows this by not allowing the wearer to see sideways, like wearing blinkers.
Made from see through fabric with a cut in ivy patter aswell as died with inks, tissue paper treated in a similar manner but also with bleach. A silk fabric whcih had wax dripped on in an ivy pattern and all put together to create this head peice that is fragile yet very hard to take off.
Showing the fragility between us and the unknown truth and yet that to see this and to be fully aware it recquires effort and understanding.
Anywho, I turn 20 tomorrow! I'm getting an eisel!!!!!! Very exciting. x
I AM SO DAMN PROUD OF YOUR ARTWORK!!!
