Capturing the romance and seductiveness of the body at work was at the heart of this project. I experimented with different ways of dramatizing my work of choice, glassblowing, through a historic lens and a contemporary one. Eventually these mockups led to the development of an ensemble made up of leather harnesses to serve both a functional purpose (protection from heat and ability to hold tools) as well as communicating that this is a glassblower’s work uniform.
