Synthetic Sutures<br />
The concept behind this work is based around viewing surgery in a different light; appreciating the skill and art of it rather than the gore and pain. I have researched to discover<br />
parallels between surgery, anatomy and textiles by studying clinical and medical stereotypical imagery, the human body and surgical stitches to build together a new interpretation<br />
of surgery. I have worked with vinyl and PVC materials which immediately add a contemporary edge but also offer unusual properties such as translucency, skin like textures and<br />
impressionable surfaces.<br />
I have worked thoroughly with developing my colour choices to add to the concept of surgery but also take away from it by using bloody and skin tones but combining this with an<br />
aesthetically opposing overall bright and playful colour palette.<br />
This collection celebrates life, history and science in relation to re-construction of the body, in a re-imagined conceptual fashion textile context.<br />
The techniques that will be used on these proposed garments range between highly structured embroidery and mixed material embellishment involving hand dyed plastics and<br />
hand pressed eyelets creating playful and interesting surfaces.<br />
