When I design several influences repeat.
Always a high or low. A clear or cludy opinion. Spontaneous or stability seeker. Always hot or cold, on or off.
Sharp angles that cut the figure, that are rendered by slashing pattern pieces that bare and conceal skin in unique positive/negative shapes.
Organic, draping and folding of volumes of fabric, not controlled by measurement, but eye, feeling, intuition.
The organic world, the man made world-- their juxtaposition, their influence over one another. Their unity. Their battle.
