I wanted to further explore my theme of the domestication of women within the social structure created by archaic patriarchy. I like the idea that we inherently associate or attach ourselves to one gender and are taught to behave in a certain way so as to adhere to expectations set by structural society.
The exploration undoubtedly is feminist but aims also to explore the implications of this structure on men and boys too. The pressure to fulfil certain stereotypes is often as strong for young men as it is for woman.
I used one of my favourite knitwear samples as the catalyst for a design development page and am really happy with the outcome. Focus lies namely on the yellow rubber glove symbol but also on the colours of blue and pink and what they both stand for in modern society, which is gender stereotyping and the early pigeonholing of children.
I loved working in this way; sketching multiple variations of a design idea works well for me and successfully develops the project.
