I decided to learn how to make clothing on little more than a whim. It's the best whim I have ever followed.
Artist Statement:
The shape, form, and theme of Dylan Osvold’s design is derived from the concepts of natural ice and humanity’s fire. The designs are meant to convey the consequences of manipulating nature and allowing resources to burn. The top is constructed with six pieces of vellum that take the shape of petals. A single decorative snap is affixed to the center left of the top. Styrene icicles on a custom spun wire hang under the top two petals. The skirt panels are arranged in a diagonal orientation that fit the hips. A triple wire holds the vellum at the waist. The bottom and sides of the vellum are burned for aesthetic purposes. Attached to the bottom of the skirt are chaotic wires painted black to reinforce the burned feeling.
