Some work I created using the ideas of Surrealism; the Dali exhibition is currently in Melbourne and the ideas of abstraction have been permeating through my brain since seeing it. The garments are inspired by Elsa Schiaparelli's glove hat, although made from random inanimate objects not influenced by my consciousness; in my case a Revival shopping bag. The gloves were hand stitched together and the hat was sewn with a sewing machine with the beading detail given to my by my mother who cut it from an op shop dress.
