Whilst
scarification is often a means to change and modify the skin, to make it
decorative, to personalise it, other cultures believe that skin should be left
as nature intended and that modification such as this is visually unappealing
due to the incisional marks which leave skin incredibly indented and
perforated.
Although
scarification can be a debatable subject as to whether people should cover
their bodies in it or not, I however have used images of scarification to my
advantage as these have influenced a collection of hand stitched and screen
printed samples which basically imitates scarification through an embroiderers
perspective, turning what is usually perceived to be ugly and unattractive into
something which is incredibly pleasing to the eye.
