I always enjoy working with tights! Such versatile material, such suggestions of the body and femininity, so close to the skin. They've featured in various projects since I was 16 and now they're back.
I'm so happy with these experiments. The shapes and textures are truly ugly, yet satisfying and transfixing. These are more like live drawings on the wall at the moment, and it's easy to change the shapes and reconfigure this growth. People's reactions have been really important, as they have had the initial head-jerk of repulsion, followed by a close examination and a prod here and there. This feels like it could really go somewhere.
