Tamara Joy, Modeling, “The Story of Silk,” 18 mm silk twill, Shoosty 2024
Wow, I mean it’s kind of like all here. It’s the cycle of life and death. You’ve got the silkworm, you’ve got the silk cocoon, you know the spinning of the silk, and the silk moth. It’s like it’s all here. It’s the symbol of transforma - tion and renewal, and I grabbed this silk early on, when Stephen brought a few for us, It’s like, That’s mine! And so it’s a storyboard, it’s a digital design, but also a story - board, it’s “Wear the Art, Be the Movement,” that’s one of Stephen’s taglines. Other inspirations Stephen looks, and appreciates are art historical movements, he mentions, Art Nouveau and the Bauhaus. These are both early 20th century, or turn of the 20th century movements. Both, philosophical and aesthetic, they’re marked by technology, and industry, but also the curves, the soft elegant curves of the Art Nouveau movement.
