Personal Project Flesh Suits , crochet, 42' x 53' Detail image In process images: Artist Statement: This artwork entitled Flesh Suits is inspired by my love for touch and representing human form. The sensation of touch is a gift and one that brings comfort and pleasure. I chose to use yarn similar to human skin tones to convey the notion of flesh but in a nonrepresentational way. The piece is not a human shape but a unique and intuitive arrangement of yarn crocheted in the tones of skin. By using the material of yarn, it becomes an experience of the softness of touch. The viewer can physically feel and enjoy the sensation that the yarn brings to their senses which is similar to the comfort of touch.
