Wrapped - second skin

"I am particularly fascinated how covering the flesh with textiles can change our perceptions of the wearer, indeed change own perceptions of ourselves"

Australian-British artist, Gimara Duncan-Rice is inspired by the shape and structure of the human form. She grew up in rural Queensland before moving to the UK. Growing up in the bush meant limited resources. Sewing provided a pathway that enabled one to be different when options were scarce. Initally self taught, she has since gone on to study draping and patternmaking at UAL: Central St Martins (Granary square, London, UK). She sculpts a variety of materials, including fabric, paper and other mallable materials. 'Wrapped' is an ongoing project. Check in regularly for updates.
