BAUHAUS COSTUMES

Some costumes I designed and cut out of plywood and acrylic. I designed these for a video and a theatre performance in the city of Utrecht. I illustrated the shapes that needed to go on the costumes in Illustrator. I then lasercut the first shapes out of wood, and then painted on the wood with acrylic paints. I was inspired for these costumes by looking at Bauhaus costumes and their performances.
