Project #3

• The Idea of this piece was to represent my physical existence in this world. I created an piece that interacts with wind, by harnessing it and propelling me on my long board. 
• I wanted the viewer to get the feel of flying,a winged being, even though it is not meant for flying. I also wanted the wings to resemble A ships sails. I also wanted to entice the viewer with feeling the uncontrollable crazy side of flying by throwing in the psychedelic Jimi shirt.
• I used sky blue throughout the piece in order to make the connection of being in the sky and flying. And i used a sail like design by connecting the "wings" in view spots creating the loops.
• the main thing that I learned making this piece was how to sew. I had never sewn anything in my life before this project, and I hit some speed bumps  but I'm glad to finally know how. i also learned that sewing machines would make projects like this a hell of a lot easier.
• If I made it again I would add something that further interacted with the wind like streamers or something.
