Quickie : Aesthetically Enhancing Movement

Body In Motion

These shoes were quite the process to make. Starting from old tires from a junkyard and seat belt fabric, I ventured out on a limb to explore a concept concerning the human body in motion. I believe that we rely on cars and other vehicles far too much for transportation and have become lazy enough to drive four blocks to pick up a gallon of milk or go to school. This is not just wasting gas, but turning us into a lazy society that always tries to find the easiest and quickest way to approaching a task, no matter the consequences. I believe that we should use our own mode of transportation, our feet, to move us from place to place. By doing this we will cut down on obesity rates and gas consumption. Pushing this topic a bit further, I did research on M2E batteries used by the military that convert the energy created by our bodies in motion, kinetic energy, to usable energy, powering night vision goggles and such. If all shoes were equipped with a pocket for these batteries, or another type of energy converter, the human race would become self sufficient and lower our carbon footprint. So this project served as a prototype for not just commenting on our reliance on vehicles and the overwhelming problem of recycling rubber, but also the energy crises that has the whole world concerned.

Scar tissue can often disguise the figure but also tell their life story. They alter one's physical identity by revealing the events that changed their lives. "Scar tissue" made with rubber cement.

Quickie #1

Pop cultures heroines seem to be stick figures more often than not, leading our youth to believe they aren't skinny enough. I remember sitting in psychology and learning about a study that involved invading a secluded tribe in African and exposing the voluptuous women to American culture and media. This exposure to society's idolization of skinny women lead them to believe that they weren't beautiful as their culture had taught them. Because of pop culture's influence, these African women began to experience severe eating disorders. I was disgusted that these women had been influenced and harmed in such a way and that their long standing beliefs in their culture of fertility and curves had been shattered. So this is my quickie project. I'm bringing curvy back.
