I have started working on the photo shoot for the new collection.
I love that moment. You get so much done is an impossible space of time. And because you are working towards a deadline all the impossible steps become a process that are just part of the game. And failures are just data entries in our experiments logs...
This year the collection is called H. H stands for Hope, not for Horror if you were wondering. In fact a bit of both. Cause you can really appreciate hope when you are scared shitless or beaten down to the bottom of the stairs. It is inspired by one of my Matrix moment. Remember when Trinity talks herself into ''Get up Trinity, get up'' and does impossible things: jumps over roofs, because everything is just will power, creativity and skill, right?
Look, I would be the first one to say that connections, money and ego work just as well. Sure they do.
It just that Hope relies less on external and precarious stuff.
So H explores void spaces and how we transform horror into hope. The place and time at the bottom of the stairs and how we pick ourselves up and fly. Get up, Trinity. Get up Neo. Get up You.
The collection has strong emphasis on undyed local breeds wool. And as with my
previous collections there are embellishments using technology and
e-technology.
I hope H to work on many levels.
Here is the work in progress.
I got the support of Feltmakers Ireland.for this so it is going to be in August in the Phoenix Park Visitor's Centre... An amazing venue.
I would be developing the accessories range at the moment while experimenting with the outrageous pieces.
And working on the furniture pieces for Design Week.
Loads to do. No wonder I am working in the small hours of the night, right? Well, not really. I just sat and watched the Matrix. Couldn't help it after I tagged the video. Am I a nerd if I know most of the dialogue by heart?
