Zone C: The Geometry of Making
Construction, Pattern & Sculptural Form
The shirt begins as a flat problem.
How does a two-dimensional surface wrap, accommodate, and move with a body in motion? The answer lives in pattern, in the dart that absorbs volume, the gusset that allows reach, the seam that negotiates between panels. These are not decorative decisions. They are structural ones: geometry in service of the living form.
This zone traces that translation; from technical drawing to cut piece to constructed object , asking what happens when the logic of construction escapes the body and inhabits space. When a pattern is no longer a template but a sculpture. When tension is no longer hidden inside a seam but made visible, legible, monumental.
Works here carry the internal architecture of the shirt within them; spatial, structural, alive to movement, whether wearable, freestanding, or somewhere in between.
