On Tuesday i had tutorial with Emma in which i found it very helpful to chat about what ive done and some of my experience. We were talking about the interview I did with my mom to understand more about her background and her memories food. I also did interview with my other Vietnamese friend about food and her style developed. I did my interpretation on her comfort food to understand more of her story.
I showed Emma the styling flip book i made even though it just in 2 pages but Emma gave me positive feedback on this and looking forward for me to develop this. She also recommended me for the instagram account that compare styling runway piece with nature. I found this pretty similar to what Im doing in term of colour and texture between clothe and food. She brought me some books which have beautiful images about nature and conceptual images about body. Eventhough, i don’t have access to the Ede tribe stuffs, these books inspired me that i can do in my own interpretation for example the colour in Ede clothing, the texture and details, etc. The magazine Emma gave me The book of Kin and other magazine that are about heritage which give me more insight and what i should continue doing. I will definitely find more books to read about things related to my topic and help me firgure out my statement of intent. Overall, this tutorial went very nice and I would need to find some academic reading.
