The Work
• Status: concept
- People often use there own body to cover their body. Putting your arm over your eyes to block the sun, wrapping your arms around yourself to warm the body, and crossing your legs for comfort or privacy are a few examples. In this line of fashion the body wraps itself with itself to generate clothing.
The surface of the body can be seen as a space in this case. The fascination has been in architecture, making interior space fold to become exterior space and then back again using knots, the Klein bottle, and the Mobius strip as a guide. This idea is similar but its applied to the human body. It allows parts of the body (public) to cover other parts of the body (private). The body can be seen as folding in or around itself exposing and hiding public and private space.
