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.
