Since contemporary design and fashion have a huge influence on each other, I wanted to show this connection by capturing fashion and art together. I visited two exhibits at Gladstone Hotel: Capacity and Come Up to My Room (CUTMR).

At Capacity, I was attracted to a horned-shaped design called Rhinocetoss by Kartina Tomkin which was composed of soft maple, basswood and rubber. I am curious to see how these types of materials carry over into accessory trends in the coming year.

Confessional, displayed at CUTMR, was a contemporary interpretation of a confessional created by artists Christine Kim and Vanathy Ganesharajak. Long rectangular intrinsically patterned screens sectioned off small areas to mimic the feeling of being in a confessional room. Influence for this design can be traced back to the Alexander Mcqueen’s 2013 pre-fall collection.

On the third floor of the hotel, a delicate floral mobile hung from the ceiling creating a meditative and romantic atmosphere. The smoothness of the cool glass against the warm rough texture of the wool created a beautiful composition.

After an amazing night of art and inspiration I felt the need to take a moment to absorb what I had seen, taking solace under the colourful oil painting Fallen Tree by Bryon Hodgins.
Great post, way to think outside the box... Quick note though, intrinsically: with respect to its inherent nature; "this statement is interesting per se". I think the word you were looking for is 'intricately'? :)
ReplyDeleteSo be clear, after the colon, that is the definition of 'intrinsically'. :) It means something is inherent, or a product of itself in some way. For example, (used in a sentence), "Blogging is intrinsically social and self indulgent"....
