Week 4 to 27/09/11

This week I have been thinking about visualising  the lie and the deceit of our own eyes. Would the characters in the story actually start to imagine the fabrics and the clothes in their own minds eye?
I think that they would and use this image to relay the details of the fabrics and clothing to others.
If this is the case what would the fabric and the clothes look like to them, in their imagination.?
The fabric would be similar but not identically because they are given some detail by the conmen but not all so the imagination would construct the final image.

I have been therefore making material swatches from the glass prints made in previous weeks. The print is the template or the information supplied by the conmen so each piece is similar but each piece is a different colour or slightly different style because the rest of the image is made in the imagination or minds eye of the person shown the invisible fabric.

I have also been working on images for the emperors clothing, or how the clothing would look in the imagination of each individual.

This image is made from glass print and drawn into to create the final image of the emperors clothes. This piece is at the point of when the illusion or spell is broken when the child states the truth ,The Emperor is Naked. The clothes begin to disintegrate before the eyes of the crowd.
