The Art of Subtraction Cutting



Subtraction Cutting is innovative pattern and design concept which involves designing from the inside out, cutting quickly and using the body as a spatial guide for pattern creation as opposed to relying on numerical measurements. We created a half scale dress using this method in the workshop, learning this technique opened up the possibilities of the silhouettes and shapes that I can create. It is unpredictable and thought provoking as it is much more organic way to create form. I am very intrigued by this method as the silhouette can be evolved at different stages and hope to develop this further.
