The Essence of Contrast
To start, my name is Iman Bass and I have been sewing for two years now. I started sewing because I always had a dream to sew my own clothing. It did not come easy to me because I was not use to paying so much attention to such little details. The details matter. My creations through sewing are a direct reflection of my feelings, thoughts, and mental depositions at that moment. I often think of how the world would look from a higher stance. Higher, as a direct term, means for me to inquisitively see objects and materials as a tool of expression versus a need. To further digest, when I am sewing, I love to think of creative designs that I have never saw before. Designs that can assist with conveying how I am feeling and what I can create to help myself or someone else develop into their true identity. Once the outfit or article of clothing becomes an idea or sketch, I then move forward with bringing it into reality.
