SCARFS IN
WINDOW DISPLAY:
title:
present & past + identity & perception
Present and
Past + Identity and Perception were visualized in designs in which shapes and
prints of the past get a new form and function in the present. This has
resulted in garments which can be worn in different ways where there is an
interaction between the individual pieces by means of encounters and
connections.
The
significance of the individual designs becomes evident by merging them; four
garments together, with a square base and a print, display the family arms of
Jacoba of Beieren. Three garments are together a VOCcompass. The designs for
the two silk scarves find their origin in folds; for storing clothes in
cupboards and chests, it was necessary to fold in the old days. The more folds, the richer the owner was. The folds are
visible on the print but the actual scarf isn’t folded, also the VOC painting
is folded and then printed.
A collection designed in collaboration with Anne Stooker. Commisioned by the municipality of Zaltbommel to promote the dutch fortress cities Gorinchem, Woudrichem, Castle Loevesteijn and Fort Vuren.
