BODY MOULDS

“The issues of rebirth through death, natural burial, and regeneration into the landscape were integral to a second project series undertaken as part of this doctoral research: the Body Moulds. These began as a simple proposal to create ‘bodies’ that merged with the landscape within a fashion context, to then become a large series of iterations or ‘cycles.’ These moulds then moved from the fashion realm into the sculpture domain, where several material tests were conducted and a number of different types of mould shapes were experimented with, each engaging with slightly different dialogues.”
