Material exchange and transformation
The work focuses on the transformation that is facilitated on a material level by dressing. It highlights it by focusing more on the expression than the use of a garment. How, when getting dressed, can material bodies engage and what do they create? A dry piece of silk is submerged into a guar gum and glycerin based gel and becomes slob like which then is able to stick to human skin and hydrate it while it also works as a sensorial experience?
In this context, a “garment”, or a material we put in our bodies, which is always inevitably an exchange, has the power to transform us as much as we have the power to transform it.
