Extracting shapes

In today's lesson, we were extracting shapes from our gathered research on our chosen artist. I didn't think I would enjoy this task as much as I did. It was interesting to look at detailing on a garment instead of the actual garment as a whole. Once I done a couple sketches and drawings, I thought of how I would incorporate it onto furniture. Because the shapes were extracted from Iris Van Herpen's work it made it more realistic as if it were something that would be designed by her. I came up with a number of shapes and patterns that I could potentially work with. At this point I am thinking of lights as a final product or a chair. Although I would not be able to actually make it, I can still make a small prototype that would demonstrate how it would actually look like. Below are a couple pages including the shapes:

 In these two pictures, I liked how the shapes looked like broken glass. I could possibly use this shape and develop it further by incorporating it into a homeware product. At this stage, I am sure I want to design a chair.

If I were to do this activity again, I would maybe zoom in a lot more and look at the minute detailing of her work and then blow it up.
