Le Délice Halluciné
Artificial cakes, cookies, pastries, and ice cream have reached the worktable. The current problem is making excess feel deliberate without building a bakery window that happens to have sleeves.
Scale and flexibility testing
Artificial pastry forms, resin, foam, silicone frosting tests, mesh, thread, black wool
OBJECT RECORD
What exists, and what it does.
Artificial cakes, cookies, pastries, and ice cream have reached the worktable. The current problem is making excess feel deliberate without building a bakery window that happens to have sleeves.
The work is in scale and brittleness tests. Nothing shown here should be mistaken for a finished garment.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Up close, attachment, seams, and wear become visible.
Camcorder table view, frosting macro, and warm 35mm contact study
CURRENT CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM
Keep artificial pastry forms convincing without blocking the body or cracking at the joints.
Resin and foam scale studies, flexible frosting tests, mesh-backed stitching, and repeated bend cycles
Convincing frosting cracked.
Flexible frosting looked wrong. The next test has one job.
CONSTRUCTION RECORD
Where the surface meets the body.
Materials
Artificial pastry forms, resin, foam, silicone frosting tests, mesh, thread, black wool
Weight or current measure
Weight is not recorded for this unfinished work.
Construction
Resin and foam scale studies, flexible frosting tests, mesh-backed stitching, and repeated bend cycles
Wear
Wearability is being tested only on partial panels and a supported dress form.
Care
Store test panels flat, dark, and separated from finished work.
