I have also recieved samples from various online fabric stores. I wanted to look at samples before I purchased a large quanity. I have also spoken with several fabric companies and fabric printing/dying material companies and asked for donations. The most helpful places have been the Online Fabric Store and Fabric Mart Fabrics. Both companies have offered to help finance my project and donate fabric. I have sent them my project proposals and they informed me that they will get back to me within the next week about what fabric they can offer me. Since this opportunity would greatly help finance my project, I am waiting at least another week before I purchase fabric myself and start printing.
Sketchbook:These are a few sketches of the shapes I will be making. I plan to make a model of my entire installation for my IP review.
Front of pyramid:
2 sides of pyramid:
Other side of pyramid that relates to the psychology of dreams. I will use a photo screen for the text. This particular quote is from psychologist C.G. Jung who studied dreams for several years. The quote reads: "In sleep, fantasy takes the form of dreams. But in waking life, too, we continue to dream beneath the threshold of consciousness, especially when under the influence of repressed or other unconscious complexes."
This is the helicopter propeller shape that I had previously been working on.
For the pyramid shape I have also decided to purchase a fan that will point up so that it will properly inflate into the correct shape. I was concerned that if I created an external air vent for the fan, that the air would blow direction to one particular side of the shape. This way, I know that the point at the top of the pyramid will hold shape. This will also aesthetically look better because the inflation mechanism will be internal.
