My Jam Packed Tuesday!!!!

On Tuesday 30th November I had a full day of things to do!!! BUSY BUSY! I started the day by continuing with deconstructing some pieces of fruit, I opened up and cut open some tomatoes, an apple and a banana! It sounds messy however it wasn’t that bad as the fruit I chose stayed together when I cut them open, I had fun! Then I sewed though them, it was good! I then covered them in PVA glue as I thought this would maybe keep them for longer, it has but they are slowly 'dyeing'! Below are some pictures of my fruit which I have cut open!!!

Below are pictures of the tomatoe I cut up, I really like these ones, the tomatoe photographed really well!





Below are pictures of my banana, the banana looks really good here however it is really brown and disgusting now! YUCK!




Below are my photos of my apple, however it didn’t photograph very well, or its just my photography skills, but I still like my apple!




So once I had sewed through all my fruit I covered them in PVA glue and left them to dry! So then I could draw them on Wednesday once they were dry!!!
After this I went over to the Barbican to see the exhibition '30 Years of Japanese Fashion'! This was amazing I thought, as I was expecting lots of kimonos to be there, however I couldn’t of been more wrong! It was amazing!! There designs of the overflowing dresses with bulges and folds. It was incredible!
Some of the designs I really liked were by Koji Tatsuno, the Autumn and Winter collection of 1993. The dress was made of Golden Brown Nylon net and was created by sewing layers of nylon net into spirals and combining the small circles into larger units. This I thought was just incredible!
I also really liked the dresses by Junya Watanabe, as they looked like honeycomb with its construction. The colours they were made in blues, yellows and reds I loved! I also really liked Watanabe's clothes and hats that were designed to be waterproof, the catwalk shows was shown on film and in the middle of the catwalk there was tones of water coming down which showed how the designs could and are waterproof! This I thought was great!!!!
Designs by Mint Designs, 'Trash, Slash and Flash' I also really enjoyed looking at. The Autumn Winter 2008 collection showed clothes with shredded paper and envelopes all over them. This I thought showed humour which I really liked!
I really enjoyed this exhibition, I thought it was really different I've never seen anything like this before and I loved every second of time!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

After the Barbican I went and saw my Dad as he brought my Wellies up from home! Then we went and saw an exhibition near his work, at the Riflemarker. It was amazing, there was a  room which had little square lights which changed colour. But then you placed your finger on the light it then started flashing the speed of your pulse going though your finger. This was just amazing. Then if you placed one finger on one square then another finger on a different one, they linked some how and turned the same colour. So my right hand started off as blue and my left hand a red, after a second they both turned blue. It was amazing! This connection also worked if you held hands. So I held hands with my Dad, he placed his left finger on a green light, I placed my right finger on a orange light, after a second they both become orange. I cant describe how cool this was, just brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This pulsating LED installation was created by Jamie Zigelbaum and Marcelo Coelho and they were the winners of the Designers of the Future award. Its at the Riflemarker, beak street, regent street! Its definitely worth a look!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are some pictures below of these amazing lights!



We then went to a few other exhibitions, round here but nothing really caught my eye like this one did! Oh well!!! It was a very good day, very productive!!! It was lovely to see my Dad! Only 18 days till I can my Mum, Brother and Sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!
