Entry Description

Clothes are the second layer of the body's skin, the overlapping and interweaving of different meanings. Works with straw rope, second-hand leather for manual creation. A combination of leather and grass rope, grass rope is dyed and then woven, like some scars and sutures on the body. Nothing is closer to our naked body than the form it presents. Eventually the garment breaks down and the dust returns to the earth.
