Starting points for some aspects of the
research around a lecture I'm going to give to nuca students include exploring the
meaning of smocks through time – agricultural labourer to bohemian crafts person – this will include an overtly political position around workers and decoration
- the image of a smocked William Morris needs to be considered within this
section. While developing my smocking skills I've also become interested in the diagrams that are used to
communicate practical aspects of making/smocking – how to communicated a 3D
time-based activity in a 2D format.
the smock was the workwear then
