FORMS ORGANIC
Artist Statement:
An adaptation of a smaller Animal-parasite construct to larger form of symbiotic wearable shield.
Man has adapted Animals to form a symbiotic relationship with himself. Forms Organic is a play on this symbiosis whereby it is explored to the point of osmosis, where a unified armour is formed. Not an armour of solid and impervious protection, but one of emotional separation. This work sees the armour woven around us as a means to sever links between animal as commodity and animal as living being.
Do we de-humanise ourselves by using other beings for our own wants and needs, happily brandishing claws, teeth and spikes as a show of what we are protected from, or are we just re-animalising the cute, harmless and furry for the same reasons.
Materials + production details: TPU filament, Lycra, plastic, nylon,clay and LED lighting, FORMS ORGANIC utilises a hand manipulated 3D printed technologies (3D printer pen), extruded plastic film, LED lighting and hand woven nylon fibres, as well as hand sculpted claws, teeth and appendages.
