Performance stills of the artist wearing The Others; a self portrait, a series of five stitched sculptures, made as the final piece for my first degree, BA in Drawing and Applied Arts, in 2015. (Leather, imitation leather, fake fur, knitting, felt, velvet, zips, concrete, stitch, print)
Most of my soft sculptures are wearable, in some way at least, and normally at some point during the process of making, I try them on. It’s part of making them me and is also part of my ongoing research into the links between clothing, body and identity. Yet they are often, realistically, utterly unwearable.
As you can see, The others are firmly in that category, but these images are still rather compelling...
