Planar.

As an interactive installation and design tool, Planar allowed a gallery user to select specific details and panels from a menu of assorted of aircraft wing and fuselage components or sections, and then locate these variously over a figure. By subjecting the forms to manipulations and transformations, such as rotating, layering, stretching, and altering colour, scale and proportion, the user was able to re-contextualise the aircraft parts as an index of possible fashion forms. 

Planar looks to convey how ideas for fashion might be found and acquired ‘elsewhere,’ and applied in playful yet relevant ways. It questions how such atypical approaches might compliment and extend conventional or traditional methods of conceiving and creating clothes.

Planar was shown at the ICA, London, February 2008.
