Quickie No.3

This is my third quickie. The project was to enhance a body part. I made headphones that amplify soundinto someone's ear. I used two water bottles and cut the head off and then joined them over the head using Maskin Tape as well as behind the head. Yay!

Quickie No.2

This is my second quickie! The assignment was "Make a quickie that alters or reveals the wearer's identity." For this assignment I asked my male friend to dress as a female, thus changing his gender identity as it is perceived by the onlooker. I chose to use more feminine and revealing clothes so that the femininity and transformation of sexuality would be emphasized.

Quickie No.1

This is my first quickie. The assignment is "Make a quickie hat alters a body or body part to become 'ideal' or to become non-ideal." For this I decided to make my body more curvy using a corset. Society's ideals have always leaned towards the unrealistic with enormous boobs and hips and virtually no waist. This immediately made me think about Victorian corsets and the artificial silhouette. To emulate this look the best. I first cut out two foam circles and taped them to my chest. This emphasized the impossibly large chest that females are supposed to have. At this same time I put a black trash bag around the lower part of my torso so that my clothes would not get damaged and then I used black electrical tape to make a tight fitting corset.
