Open Brief

An identity of myself in the form of a jacket, inspired by a patchwork theme to show the various assumptions people have made about me.

My initial focus was that of this idea that we as people have some sort of common act of behavior and this is watching other people. From research I found that there seems to be insecurities among people and so I started thinking about all the things people have said about me when they first saw me. This then led me back to my own experiences and personal life. Influenced by two artists; Karen Boutte for her patch-jackets and Rita Barnard for her Patchwork Quilt.

All imagery and objects were sown onto the jacket, which in turn represent me.
