I have really enjoyed the innovation project, as I have seen it as a test run for my final year, and so have pushed and tested myself so I am confident for next year.
My project was about the Human’s psychological need to touch the world around them. This concept was originally inspired by an artwork I saw in the Victoria and Albert Museum by Dafna Kaffeman, who created a sculpture named ‘Tactile Stimulation’, exploring how humans wish to touch alluring objects which are either beautiful, grotesque or dangerous. I explored many avenues of my topic ‘Touch’, such as looking at other tactile artists, investigating the science behind human touch, and touch in nature. This inspired various textile processes which are tactually stimulating. I wished to design for well-being and create garments which have emotional durability because of the users’ relationship to them through touch. One of the main reasons I have enjoyed this project so much was because I have felt inspired by and confident in my concept the whole way through. I hope to carry on this concept into 3rd year, however I would like to add in an extra element into my concept (which I will decide over the summer) to make it even more visually interesting. Additionally, I think there are many avenues I have not yet explored in the topic touch which I am looking forward to continuing to explore.
