Wellington on it's Head....my latest flight of fancy

So I got inspired by this photograph (whose it is I have no idea can't find a link with clear information).  I love it though I love the flow and the pose and the fabric.   Oh the fabric.  Wind organic movement, rich luxurious fabrics  count me freeking in!  So I got inspired and I will start working very soon on a piece with Kaarin Macaulay the head costume tutor from Toi Whakaari.  The pieces, that is inspired by the natural features that surround Wellington.  My vision is for 3 dresses to be created from the images I have in my head.  Now I just have to figure how to get them out of my head and into Kaarins and then pull them  back into my camera.  I have visions of using cranes to get the models up high enough for the Wellington wind to interact with the dresses.  Praying that this idea is not one of those that is better in theory than in practice.  We will see. we will see. I can't wait.  I will be creating one of the head pieces out of lots and lots of wire to sculpt.  Then my greater vision is for the dress to be turned on its head and illuminated to make an amazing feature for a huge ceiling.  A flowing organic chandelier....   So excited!!!!!!  Now we just need to get the grant to pay for the bits and we are off sailing.

  1. We are walking down the street holding hands. There is a playground at the end of the block, and I run to the swings and I climb on and Henry takes the one next to me facing the opposite direction. And we swing higher and higher passing each other, sometimes in synch and sometimes streaming past each other so fast that it seems we are going to collide. And we laugh and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost or dead or far away. Right now we are here and nothing can mar our perfection or steal the joy of this perfect moment.
