Becky Smyllie

In an exploration of our closest surroundings, clothing became a main focus.
A recognisable form such as the ladder in a pair of tights is translated on to parts of the body where it wouldn’t normally be found.
Using the hand as a sculptural form I played with the idea of these forms being part of the skin. Contorting in a fierce and unnatural manner.
Body painting is a process that emphasises revealed skin working in harmony with the image of laddered tights.
However unwanted they are I found myself ripping new holes to investigate the forms and patterns further.
