When we interviewed Judy she told us that when she was younger she really enjoyed going camping in New Hampshire with her husband. She described the smell of the tress and the fresh air as refreshing and humbling. We wanted to recreate this sensory experience through our Jacket/Scarf. The smell of a burning fire and the trees stayed with her so we wanted to focus on the smell.
We decided to open up little pockets near the top of the jacket where we placed newly laser cut wood. The strong smell of the wood fire is supposed to bring out the sensory feeling of sitting by, and smelling the fire. While camping the rustling of the leaves and the snapping of twigs is a common sound. We wanted to make this sensory experience as accurate as possible so we added leaves and a few twigs to the outer layer of the jacket. This adjustment is supposed to bring out the sensory experience of sound and possibly touch. Sitting by the warm fire battled with the fresh air flowing through the trees rustling nearby leaves.
