Heavy Step
This project was done as an assignment for my entrance exam at Gerrit Rietveld Academy.
I was asked to make something wearable that either complicates or simplifies my daily life according to my personal needs
For all of my projects, I start by writing down all of the ideas that come to mind. I knew I wanted to make something that would complicate my life.
Process and Inspiration book
My height is probably the first thing someone notices about me. I am quite tall but not to the point where it obstructs my daily life, so that is what I decided to play with in this assignment.
In this book you can see I first attempted to make some shoes out of concrete. I wanted to obstruct my daily life by making something heavy, messy and that accentuates my height. So when the concrete shoes didn't work out you can see I kept the same sentiment when designing the final version in wood.
