The evidence left on our skin throughout the day from the textiles we wear speak volumes. The texture of our clothing become imprints on the surface if our bodies. Between our bodies and our clothing lies a moldable barrier. On this border lies a stamp of the remnants of our daily movements. The friction become markings and dents on the skins surface. These imprints disappear in minutes leaving the skin to iron it’s self out naturally.  The red markings certain garments leave on your body are like mappings of body movements and stresses throughout the day. I’d like to look at the relationship our bodies have with clothing on our skins surface. Tightness, time lapse, rubbing, etchings.  Our garments protect our skin but they also leave evidence. The tighter the garment the length of time it has been the redder the deeper and longer the wear. 

I am intrigued with this evidence of wear and how our skin repairs itself and researching clothing and textiles beyond the actual cloth. Instead looking at what clothing does in relation to the body.
