If our recent posts have tempted you to enter the next
World of Wearable Art event in 2011 but you are feeling a little intimidated by the size and complexity of the entries that we have shown, then consider the
Bisarre Bra section.
Though normally hidden, the bra has shown itself in past Montana WOW Awards to have potential for highly creative and witty reinvention.
Here is Val Hornibrook's entry constructed of course from felt.
Val's bra represents - "
the circle of vessels is complete when sharing with visitors a delight that is within". The bra is a tremendous example of what can be achieved with felt. Each vessel was constructed using a resist then worked to create the final 3 dimensional urn shape.
This next bra titled
Every Rose Has Its Thorns by Violet Oliver of Auckland uses completely different construction techniques.
It is made of
metal and artificial rosebuds and was inspired by
"watching my daughter breastfeeding her baby and how it symbolised beauty and love and seeing the need to protect this precious part of a woman".
Like so many good ideas it is beautifully simple.
