A family portrait a la @daisy_collingridge. The artist shares in her statement: “The work sits in an awkward space between sculpture, performance and art. The ‘flesh suits’ or ‘Squishies’ are an exploration of fabric, form and flesh. Their tactile fabric bodies and inviting colour exaggerate the warmth and softness of flesh- these elements signify a living thing. They are visceral. There is a desire to touch. Fabric offers skin-like qualities that traditional sculpting materials do not have. Unlike marble or ceramic, they will not last forever, just like skin. The medium is more approachable and laced with meaning given that we all come into contact with fabric on a daily basis.” — #beautifulbizarre #daisycollingridge #textileartist #art #makeupartist #fleshsuit #contemporaryart #performance #textile #performance #family #newcontemporary https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYTMGmo0Wz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
