Woman Defined

The accumulation of this project looking at the physical statement of how Women now define themselves.

This work evolves from the ideas of construction within the corset, banding, stitching, boning. All relate to the structure of the body itself so through this language define the "Skin, Flesh and Bone", of a woman.

Taking this idea further to repeat the printed designs into knitted fabric.

Using the industrial knitting machine to encompass wooden lathes, this illustrates the boning within the corset.
