The Skins Series
Resilience. Swiss Army linen laundry bags; crocheted cotton inner lining; 23 buckles
All pieces are from the skins series of life-size, fully dimensional female skins which explore how expectation, desire and convention—our own and others—form casings which shape our deepest selves and which become so familiar they seem like our own skin. Made from the same pattern (44 pieces, 166 darts) and constructed using dressmaking and needlework techniques, all of the works are designed to be touched and handled by the viewer—unzipped, unbuttoned, rattled or read.
