Light Update

Haven't given an update on my ongoing light project the past few days so thought I'd fill you in. Have been desperately trying to design garments. Having experimented with the abstract theory of 'Light Costume' I've been looking into the realistic potentials and ideas that others have already produced. My findings surrounding futuristic ideas of sensors really sparked some ideas, but within constraints I'm having to claw back some sense of reality.
I've considered fabric constructed garments, metal frames, LEDbeading, Electroluminescent wire, torches, fibre-optics, you name it-I've googled it.
But I keep hitting the same brick wall. That this has become too much about costume, too confined. This is no longer what I obsess about re Light. Light is beauty, it is simplicity, it is not complicated stressful days spent clawing my hair out, translating shipping costs into Stirling.
In which case, what on earth do I spend the next week on? What do I create? Lord knows if I get to next Friday and haven't actually MADE anything then I'll feel like this whole project has been in vain. SO FRUSTRATING.
Back to the drawing board tomorrow.
