Taking a new turn down the road of development, I decided to look into the physical act of rape and tried to portray it in a draping session. I decided to use mesh and netting for this as it represents bridal fabrics that relate to the victims in the sense that their virginities were taken away Saville, therefore they would never be 'pure' (an old fashioned view) for their husband.
I feel like I achieved a successful outcome. The fabrics actually worked really well in response to the stress and manipulation that I was putting it under. It was interesting to create this, a woman's vision of being raped, onto a man's body. It somewhat feels embarrassing and out of place. Which makes me feel that I am on the way to creating something that the victims will get a sense of justice from.
From using these fabrics, I really would like to use them in a final piece as the have conceptual reasons for being used. I want to experiment more with them in terms of fabric manipulation to really bring out their full potential.
