Sketches of what the final suit should look like
It will be entirely made out of fabric

These are images of the fabric base of the full body suit. It is on a rough mannequin made to hold the suit up, not for proper display of form. It will look less like a giant cylinder when worn.
(I would wear it and show images of the form more properly, but the cut out screen for the eyes is drying with a acetone-based glue that is not safe to breathe in.)
(Title is likely to change. I don't know if this title is grammatically correct.)
For this wanderlust assignment I will be creating a life size fabric suit that I will wear as I walk slowly and passively down the beach. This performance will take place on the beach I grew up next to but scarcely went to. It is a visual expression of my experiences and memories of that beach, as a place of grief and lost. Grieving the negative memories of my family that occurred in public places where one would expect joy and bonding.
The performance will be done in-front of people attending the beach, either with families or themselves. It is intended to remind the beach-goers of a difference in the experiences someone may have in places that are typically associated with joy and peace.
