We had to experiment and manipulate textiles in this course to create either a wearable piece or an art installation that was inspired by nature and also drawing inspiration from various established artists.
We experimented with different fabrics to create different textures and to see what technique leads to what result. I drew inspiration from the abundance seen in nature and how everything tended to move upwards. I wanted to creat a headpiece and hence was inspired by Little Shilpa and another artist Sheila Hicks whose work had that plenty and large feel to it.

Initial Ideation
Making of the final headgear
The seeds were tied into the cloth and boiled in water to retain the shape. A natural brown shade was imparted to the cloth, adding to the colour of the gear.
