Flesh, Fibers & Form - A Textile Tribute to the Body
I plan to make a series of wearable pieces / garments
Inspired by the Human Body + Anatomy
Incorporate an interactive element
Combine traditional techniques with modern advances & technology
The concept is to reveal (some) the layers of the body and visually demonstrate the anatomical structure.
I aim to show the movement, change, exaggeration, bring this to life and illuminate the layers underneath (in some cases literally)...
Keep in mind 3 key words = Wow! Elegant & Playful (stick with signature + style)

C O N T E X T - W H E R E / W H E N ?
Where has this concept come from?
For many years, the human body has been integral to my work. My fascination with it has subsequently grown more and more. I have become quite obsessed with Anatomy, due to my love for life drawing. With this, I wish to observe & display the internal parts of the body on the exterior in pieces that can be worn.
Where will it be?
I hope to have these pieces relatively adaptable to various environments and contexts, so that they can ‘live a life’ that is more than a one time wonder.
I see these pieces having an interactive element, and not necessarily worn for the everyday, but coming to life displayed on a stage or a screen. They can either be viewed in the flesh in a live performance, or captured in a photograph or film.
I also aim to make the pieces look interesting on their own, so that they can be displayed as part of an installation and speak for themselves.

P U R P O S E - W H Y ?
When thinking of anatomy, one thinks of the dead (cadaver being dissected) or a static image. I wish to challenge and change this. I aim to bring anatomy to life, capture the motion and show the beauty of the body. I see this as an opportunity to show anatomy as less gruesome and instead more glamorous.
Project Points:
Make the invisible -> visible
Exaggerate and reveal motion
Appreciate and celebrate the human body
Educational both for myself and others
Anatomy is a craft in itself and I wish to combine my own knowledge of textiles and tailoring with the surgery of dissection.
