About the work:
A series of investigational images of leather garments developed to evoke the material properties and cultural dimensions of leather in relation to the artists research into the notion of Second Skin [Deconstructing the Fashion Leather Aesthetic] and her perspectives of how the theme of ‘Home’ and ‘Leather’ are interconnected and inseparable.
Both [my home and my leather garments] are a reflection of my identity.
Both [ ] protect and shelter me.
Both [ ] are moulded and sculpted by my body.
Both [ ] I cherish.
Both [ ] stay with me for years.
Both [ ] are home to me.
