As
the largest organ of the human body, the skin is an outer covering that exists
to protect the body from infectious germs and microorganisms. Exposed to the pathogens in the natural
world, skin will become damaged, cut, blistered and infected. Unable to develop protective immunity against
all germs and diseases, the skin responds to different infections and
allergies.
Taking
inspiration from the common forms of skin conditions that many people have
experienced, this series examines the way in which skin is affected by eczema
and contact dermatitis. Such conditions
cause dryness, flaking, blistering, cracking and bleeding upon the many layers
of epidermis. This is a harmed and
unwanted appearance.
By
investigating these textures, deterioration and discolouration of skin through
digital work and textile embellishment, new imagery is created allowing us to
appreciate the beauty of skin functioning constantly as a protective barrier
for the human body.
