attempting to make a milk carton out of hessian. i cut out the net shape of the carton and using the same woven wire technique, pressed it into its shape. i’m happy with the result, and i would love to try this in an array of materials, and more accurately by using my sewing machine.
weaving wire through sections of hessian to create shapes that hold their form. i’m happy with how well these turned out. had i been given more time, i would love to experiment with different fabrics, and also with weaving different materials through them
plaster casts of some milk cartons. I figured using plaster is the easiest way for me to create a material similar to what Klute used
I went to see the new Luke Kelly sculpture by Vera Klute in Dublin. I loved her use of materials- the shared characteristics and differences between them. The skin is so smooth and marble-y while the wire hair is incredibly solid, while looking soft from a distance
excessively edited photographs the emphasise light and dark in the hessian
creating new vessels to stuff my hessian into. i am so intrigued by the seemingly random folds and lines created
Hyper-edited photograph to highlight the light and dark in the hessian folds.
stuffing the milk carton with hessian. i cut little windows into the plastic to see the shapes being made inside
more stop motion work. i’m looking at how my two objects interact
Stop motion GIF making. I am still so intrigued by hessian, so I decided to bring it into my project.
Quick studies of silhouette and form. I chose to work with a milk carton.

Looking for the idealised female shape in objects around me
I made very obvious edits to the photos to highlight the light and dark and depth in my corsetry pieces
Using hessian to create the same idealised body shape. I chose hessian for two reasons; It is a rough, coarse fabric and would be totally impractical and uncomfortable to use for real corsetry- the whole idea of corsetry is just that, impractical and uncomfortable.
It also follows on nicely from my previous idea of weaving and knot work. Being a natural fabric, it features imperfections in the pattern and texture which makes it so intriguing to me
As I was experimenting with the hyper-idealised female silhouette, I decided to do some research into the history of corsetry. During my studying, I found a jingle of sorts from a corsetry shop in the 1800s - “Contains the strong, sustains the weak, brings back those who have strayed”. I found this absolutely fascinating. It sounds so preposterous yet just like something you would hear in the modern day.
I had previously touched on weaving, sailors’ knots and methods used on ships of making materials stronger when I was looking into dazzle. I decided to create a woven sheet of paper and make a corset shape out of that.
This is a very crude shape, and I hope to remake it with different materials and in different styles.
