Ideas, Concepts and Inspirations..

A book which i found to be full of inspiration was Women s Liberation and Beyond. Most my key imagery is from that book and ideas have stemmed from it. Two artists who I had never heard of, Linder Sterling and Hannah Hoch, provided me with great ideas for my project.






Concept Design.

This project starts off with watching a selection of films in order to gain inspiration for collection. Breathless, a film by Jean- Luc Godard is where my project starts. I am using Patricia, the female lead from the film, as my main source of inspirations. I am interested in her character, her role in her relationship with Michel, and how she is key example of how women have changed.
