December 2018: Élisabeth Vigée Lebrun

Uppgiften var att designa och tillverka ett skärp eller bälte med utgångspunkt i konstnären Élisabeth Vigée Lebruns liv och verk. Föremålet är tillverkat i naturgarvat koläder och handmålat i olja med textila detaljer från Vigée Lebruns tavlor. Projektet var en del av mina studier vid Stenebyskolan (inriktning skinn/textil).

A photo of the waist of a woman. She is dressed in black and wears a wide decorated belt. The images are painted on details from oil painting in blue, red, gold and yellow. The buckle of the belt is a flat and narrow frame. The belt is not snug but hangs slightly against the model. A photo of the waist of a woman from the back. She is dressed in black and wears the same decorated belt as before. From this view the belt sits snugly and the painted images are white fabrics with red ribbon.

A close up photo of the belt. The model holds her hand on it, showing that it is about 4 cm wide. The photo shows the yellow and white fabric painted on the belt. A close up photo of the belt which shows two different blue fabrics painted on the belt. It also shows the tongue and the edge of the belt; the edge has been painted gold.

Tack till den anonyma modellen, samt till Miriam Ståhlgren, som gjorde spännet.
