My diploma work – experimental fusion of Grapphic Design, Fashion and Glass. Combination of three fields of study that I underwent during my six years of study at Umprum ( Gaphic design studio, Glass studio, Fashion design studio)
Project on which I have spent my free time in the last year and half 🙃
This work focuses on expanding and blurring the boundaries between graphic design and other craft or art disciplines, with an attention to the uniqueness of craftsmanship versus the digital world and reproducibility in graphic design. The output is a complete outfit woven from glass beads. The Czech Republic is a superpower in the production of glass and glass beads🔮. It has a centuries-old history and international recognition for its high quality and craftsmanship. As with knittwear, I work again on the basis of a raster (pixels), where each pixel is represented by one glass bead. No piece of fabric was used to make the outfit, so it is made entirely of glass beads and thread (around 2,5 km 🤪). The whole proces was extremely time consuming. At least it had a relaxing to meditative character…✨
