How can we come to view our physicality as a resource, rather than a destiny?
Made on Body (2020) is a designed and documented a making process that directly implicates and utilises the physical body in the fabrication of wearable objects, reframing the onset of ‘wear’ as a productive bodily output.
Materials react to wear in ways that are destructive and constructive, extreme and subtle, permanent and temporary.
Through physical exertion and embodied acts, the wearing-as-making process is initiated, the movements and secretions of the body are inserted into the fabric of the object as a performative, designed process.
The body is not the object to be adorned, but rather the very method of fabrication.
