Thoughts...¶
In all my readings, it's always about empowerment, bold woman, badass, body positive, and sisterhood.
A concept / communication project. Trully artistic, and not commercial. The final video presentation will be as important as the functional bra.
...Doubts¶
during the holydays I started to feel less and less confident about it, without understand really why. I was afraid to don't have enough time to make it succesful, I didn't manage all the process by myself and need a lot of people, models, videomakers... And I know this project wouldn't end at the end of fabricademy but I'll not have time for it as I'm already overbooked running my own Textile Lab.
So late in the night, I asked myself what I really want to do. I really enjoy thinking about the future local factory in Circular Fashion, and I plan to do a lot of the machines we saw in Open Source Hardware, and I am really enthousiatic with the vacuum machine I've made in Textile Scalfold.
and total change...¶
Machines and mini factory¶
First of all, I wanna build the batik drawing machine Digital wax print, then adapt it to work with vegetable ink and direct print on to fabrics.
Catherine Guthrie¶
"About 25 percent of double mastectomy patients choose to stay flat after the surgery, and 50 percent of single mastectomy patients do, as well. "That's a lot of women," Guthrie says, choosing flat chests over reconstructed breasts."
