Textilskulptur, höjd 1,74 m.

Emma Linde 2008

Textil skulptur av alla de kläder som behövs en helt vanlig dag. Kläderna är uppsprättade och omarbetade till ett skelett i naturlig storlek. Mängden textil är exakt den samma men ordnad enligt en ny princip där ytan blir den bärande konstruktionen. 2016 Förkroppsligat, Nationalmuseum Kulturhuset.

Inköpt av Gävleborgslänskonstmuseum.

To the very skin.

This is a textile sculpture made up of all the garments that I have worn during a normal day. I cut up the material, compressed it and reworked it into a full-size skeleton. The quantity of the textile fabrics is exactly the same but is arranged in accordance with a new principle. The work is concerned with concepts like identity, surface and construction. The garments that normally represent a surface have been shifted inwardly and taken over the human skeleton´s bearing function.

Hand-made full-size skeleton made up of the artists own clothes and shoes.
