props maker/ inspiration creator

I have been looking at practitioners who make works that serve as props for editorial shoots and inspiration for fashion. I particularly like the work of Ann-Kristin Able, I found this research very inspiring and encouraging as it made me see how my work could be used and how I could work as a practitioner. A concept was developed by the design collective Franklin Till who then art directed a collection of  work that they commissioned  Able to make which was later photographed and published in spreads for the inspiration magazine Viewpoint  to inspire those who read the magazine. I felt that this was an important piece of research for me as it gives my work real context and showed me the process of collaboration I would go through if I were to work like this. Later in the project I will begin to collaborate, this will be good practice for me to see how I can make my work fit a concept and to see how it can be curated by those who I collaborate with.  I aim to begin to photograph my work as if I were to work as a props maker for fashion inspiration it must look good when photographed conjure atmosphere and contain certain textural elements.
