These garments are just a few of the ones I'm wearing to my new 9-5. Some days I feel like playing, some days I don't- some days, like everybody else, I want to reveal, other days I want to buffer, balance and blend. "Sew", I pinch, pleated and stitched with black diamond rhinestones... and all is balanced with night stars, falling ties and tied bows, snaps and a belted singing bird.
My friend Kim shed new light on asymmetry...
"Rebel:
The etymology of asymmetric is asymmetria: lack of proportion, from aymmetros: ill-proportioned
asymmetric means:
1: not symmetrical
On the other hand antisymmetric means:
relating to or being a relation that implies equality of any two quantities for which it holds in both directions
mathematically antisemmetric means:
A quantity which changes sign when indices are reversed.
I have been thinking of this because I was going to call you the queen of asymmetry, but now I am thinking the more proper definition would be the antisymmetric queen. You have such a command on bringing beauty out of what is expected not to be beautiful.
Symmetry:
1: balanced proportions; also : beauty of form arising from balanced proportions
You don’t fill “lack of proportion” or sculpt “ill-proportion”. Instead you take the eye and provide the brain with a complex relation between fabric and body that is
Like redefining equal (=). Swiping previous volumetric and linear definitions of “symmetry” out of sight and replacing it with curvi-linear functions that connect the curve of the shoulder to that of the opposite hip or the collar bone to the fingertip. Things that should be together, but don’t necessarily line up orthogonally.
Symmetry:
2: having corresponding points whose connecting lines are bisected by a given point or perpendicularly bisected by a given line or plane This one was for the irony. “perpendicular bisect”-ion should not be in the same line as “curves”."
