Field Study 01

2021

A patchwork of primary visual research and digital experimentation. An exploration of place+spirit and how we interface with landscape once removed from its surface.

Field Study 01 begins with a pilgrimage into the SW of TAS to explore Ambience in Landscape through a series of short visual studies. These focus upon landscapes within the Denison Range surrounding Lake Rhona, on Lutrawita Country.

Once returned, this visual information was Abstracted/Interpreted/Deciphered. Further research of place was conducted through GIS, color processing software and Adobe AI tools.

I then used CLO3D to begin a series of design experiments seeking to store this information within garment archetypes — an understanding of landscape through analysis and re-interpretation.

The final result: a digital entity that holds Knowledge of Place through its re-structuring of information into garments.
