A suggestion was made to me to include scaffolding into my projects in order to add a more skeleton component to my flesh fabric works, but I didn't think this was a good concept for where my practice is; I might think about it in the future. So, I believe that I'll keep going with my more feminine, strong skin flesh texture textiles one day arrive the result is the idea that I truly feel is completely linked to my practice and that I like doing and creating.
Another reason for deferring that notion until later in my practice. It's because I don't have the financial means to lease out my personal scaffolding for at least three weeks for the degree sharing, as well as the time between handing in it being graded and the final show is open to the public. Since I won't be able to make use of the university setting, it will be quite expensive for me to simply hire out the scaffolding. If I did this later in my practice, however, I would have more time to develop the idea and see it through, as well as more time to either find financing for hiring scaffolding or even purchasing it outright or finding some reasonably priced ones.
Where does the scaffolding in my art come from? What source did the material for men have? As opposed to using male elements in opposition to a feminine picture, I find that my work has at the very least been going towards a more feminine view. Therefore, I find that if I use scaffolding in my graduate showpiece, it always appears out of nowhere in my practice and pushes my work in the direction of a different viewpoint that hasn't appeared all through the year. While nothing of metal has been used in my practice, I believe the scaffolding to be a very manufactured bit of metal. Plaster is perhaps the most male material I've used so far this year, though I don't really think of plaster as either masculine or feminine. Instead, I think there's a distinct difference between utilising scaffolding and using metal items. Plaster appeals to me more than metal does because it is pure white, a shade that conjures up images of cleanliness and orderliness, whereas metal conjures up images of sludge. Plaster can also have a smoothness to it, depending on how it is applied, as in my plastic bag pieces, where I filled the bags with plaster and then removed the plastic after distorting them with string and wire. I took out the rope and wire, bag, and sculpture, which was clean and smooth.
Perhaps using scaffolding and the bathroom rail will allow you to hang towels, creating a small connection to the body since we cover ourselves with towels after cleaning ourselves. As you dry the clothes you want to wear, you can use a drying rack or clothing rail you can get outdoors, a washing line or a drying rack to cover yourself and conceal your body.
