Rainer, Y. (1999). A woman who .... Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Univ. Press.

Inspired by how Yvonne Rainer intertwines the interaction of two bodies; could this be re-created experimenting with my own stretch jersey experiments? Even using the knitting machine to create my own stretched fabrics. The way Yvonne Rainer has placed the holes on the body suit pictured below makes me think if there is a purpose to them. Too many holes on a garment may make the wearer feel self conscious or two holes at the bottom of trousers would confuse someone... how do I put this on? As humans we are so used to the normality of clothing and how mundane it is to put our arms and heads through a jumper and feet into socks. Why can't clothing be like a game - working out what goes where? I understand sometimes as a designer we have to be practical what if you were in a rush for work ? This would be such an exciting idea giving someone my final piece which is completely alien to them (with body extensions and holes everywhere) and telling them they have one minute to try and get it on. Would they work it out? Or would they find a completely different way to wear the piece of fabric?
