Brazilian Waxing, I-Phones and Jeff Koons
2014
Monitored by fear and isolation humans in today’s society wrap themselves in pleasing and perfected covers. They are domesticated (or domesticate themselves?) and spare their own complexity – vulnerable, violating, animal, tender, hard, edgy, soft. Artificiality and sleekness conceal every scar, rim, unevenness, disunity and asymmetry.
A protective cocoon, a repulsing mask and an illusionary picture at once.
The hand-sketched textile pattern is inspired by marble, which inheres two contrary qualities: On the one hand it is incredible smooth and luxurious, on the other hand it is rough and uneven in it‘s natural form. Inter-veined it is reminiscent of organic shapes and human capillaries.
Materials: PVC, fake fur, silk, cotton satin, cotton, polyester, devoré
Techniques: silk-screen printing
Design, pattern development, printing: Nari Haase
