My tutor showed me a piece of work by the photographer Sophie Lemedioni
that made me want to explore more into skin. After being inspired by
corsets and other garments that physically distorted and dis-formed the
body, it could help to bring another element to my fabrics like using
yarns with fleshy, rubbery qualities or skin tones. The reason why
Lemedioni photograph really interested me was the unpredictable, and
uncontrolled way the skin shaped and moulded. It creates unique forms in
the body, as well as restricting the natural movement, and flat surface
of the skin.

To explore the skin more so I took my own photographs in a similar style
to Lemedioni to give me inspiration for shapes and structures to work from.
