STAND TALL

Stennett, Danielle K

Abstract Details

2013, MFA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Art.

The idea that clothing and adornment can affect the wearer is one that has spawned countless artistic endeavours and studies, with some researchers and artists having sought the reasons why this interaction has persisted, changed and adapted over the years. In creating theories and hypotheses, these researchers and artists have approached the subject from various angles.

In Stand Tall, I address not only the relationship between the physical and psychological aspects of adornment, but how it can affect the wearer psychologically. With the combination of elaborate brass textured through the process of reticulation and needle felted, eye-catching, coloured wool roving, I created pieces that assist the wearer to not only fix a physical problem, but also provide protection from injury and allow them the means to recreate themselves in their own mind and put forth a more poised and confident individual ready to take on the world.
