Today I helped with a 3rd year called Natalie Wardle to create a video for her end of year show. She required as many girls as possible to wear nude underwear, particularly control style pieces. 11 girls turned up and we stood in front of the camera and pulled at what we were wearing for approximately a minute. The theme Natalie had in mind was about how women's underwear is restricting and doesn't show the female anatomy in its true form.

We stood in a line to begin with, then walked about pinging our own underwear, to then pinging each others

 

 

I found that working on this piece has developed my confidence to work collaboratively. Unit X is helping me by showing me an insight on what it is like to work with others, and I feel that so far I have taken a headstrong position within my group and that it is benefiting me in the long run.

I also felt very inspired by Natalie's use of underwear and pulling it away, so I have come up with a new, quick idea I can experiment with before our exhibition goes ahead. I want to get some fishnet tights and film myself ripping them off. Fishnets are often worn by 'hookers' and seen as a 'slutty' item to be seen it, so this links greatly to my ideas to do with the 'fallen woman'.
