As a result of my research I looked into the
mental health wards airport more hospital during the years of which Jimmy Saville
was helping out on the ward. I wanted to look into the white coat specifically
as we see it as a blanket of trust. Doctors hold our lives in their hands
essentially, so for this kind of issue to happen it's quite destructive of that
trust. This is why I decided to play around with the white jacket and
deconstruct it and see what unique shapes I can come up with. It was quite
interesting actually because when I deconstructed the coats, it made the
doctors look like scary aliens. The same thing I imagine would've been felt by
the girls being attacked by Jimmy.
I then designed from my favourite shapes
that I created. I really did like the designs I produced however I don't feel
like that was the right avenue to go down in order to design from to truly
answer the victims the plea justice. I feel like I just bought up really bad
memories for them.
This was a slight setback as I didn't really
want to use these ideas for further for development as they felt tainted.
This process wasn't totally wasted though. I
thought of looking into the physical act of rape and watched a few interviews
with his victims and how they felt during and after the whole incident
happened. One woman quoted to have felt constantly suffocated and strangled
after as she couldn't be herself and feel at ease. Looking back through my
designs, I got a sense of construction and lack of comfort due to the
controlled shapes and placements. So I'll be taking them through to development
in a different sense of displaying a struggle.
