Week 3: Disrupt

I started this week by taking part in the soft sculpture workshop, where I developed on my idea of disruption of the human form…

Daisy Collingridge: Textile Designer

I came across work by Daisy Collingridge and found it very moving and on-theme to similar work I have been looking at from other artists.

She uses bulging flesh as a part of her art form and creates “squishy” flesh suits made from layers of wadding and stretched jersey.

She states “Their tactile fabric bodies and inviting colour exaggerate the warmth and softness of flesh- these elements which signify a living thing”.

I find this statement very interesting in her words of enthusiasm towards her “bodies” of work.

“Fabric offers skin like qualities that traditional sculpting materials do not have. Unlike marble or ceramic, they will not last forever, just like skin.”

She creates these suits which I think mimic the intricate human form in beautiful “warm and soft” colours. The form in which they’re presented give ideas of muscle beneath the skin as presented on the arms and legs of some of the “squishy” characters.
