My 3rd Year Exhibition!!

The strip of material pieces on the wall, along with the plinth underneath, are of my first 3rd year project in which we were given a space (Wycombe Chair Museum) and were allowed to do anything we wanted with it. I chose to use it as a wedding venue for a hypothetical couple based on the characters from My Fair Lady, Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle.

The rest of my exhibition was of my final major project which I chose to create a V&A 'Friday Late'. This event was designed to assist in the promotion of the V&A's 2013 wedding dress exhibition. I chose a 'wedding' theme, focusing on traditions from around the world which I represented in 14 different events. These included influences from different religions and cultures, using a tongue-in-cheek twist to create a fun and interactive atmosphere for the guests.

For my final major project I also created a stop motion show-reel to clearly show what each event would look like and where each event would take place. watch it here....http://www.vimeo.com/25318933

FMP- Maquettes

Here are some maquettes I have made for my final major project...

They show 4 of the events which would be taking place outside in the V&A gardens and one event which will lead from the inside of the museum to the museums gardens....

FMP- I can't sketch so I sew!

For my final major project I am going to be 'putting on' a V&A Friday Late to promote the up and coming 2013 wedding dress exhibition. I will be using traditions and rituals from all over the world to create a fun and exciting event.....

I can't sketch so I sew!!

Here are some of my ideas shown as sewn images...

          

All of these images show, in a fun light, tradition or ritual around the world.

The first image represents a Strictly Come Dancing set up on judging a couples 'first dance'
The image next to this shows an oversized piece of confetti in the style of the game piñata
Under this shows a jewellers which would be in a window of the V&A
Next shows a bouquet throwing and catching classes which would be played in the grounds of the V&A
The fifth image shows a walkway in which confetti could randomly fall along with sounds of cheering
Next to this is the 20p machine which will be placed in the V&A and filled with rings
Underneath this is a catwalk for the gypsy wedding dresses
Next sketch represents a smashing noise which would go off in the ceramics room along with 'mozel tov!'
The final image shows a 'pin the money on the dress' game taken from the game 'pin the tale on the donkey'
