Skinning over
In Skinning over I present wearable objects created between machine and hand. Using zero-waste circular knitting, deconstruction and metal wire, I shape spatial forms that invite the wearer to explore an embodied experience that blurs the boundaries between skin, clothing and space.
Jury Motivation:
Emotional value in wearing clothes. The wire and the wearer reshape the garments in an interaction that transforms and gives new form to old garments. An exploration of one's own body linked to the spatial interaction and the surrounding society. But also a kind of fusion of the human body and the animal through techniques such as deconstruction, jacquard knitting and felting. Like poetry and a kind of sensory awareness. A very tactile experience.
