nipple frame 1

this is a frame for your nipple.

it is taking the body as a site and emphasising spaces around it. 

and also squishing bits of the body-as-site.

i tried to photo it with a darker background.

really, my backyard isn't very ideal.

i'll find a better spot and have better pictures. or make a little framed-laser-nipples video. 

(probably not the video. i'm still learning at that.)

raining on the outside of the room.

Skinless tomato Suit (for two) in the studio

jess and saskia and a tomato suit.


from under video:
'(A suit for one body or more.
To encourage/restrict/alter body movements and to have conversations in.)
In this case 2 persons.
In a white cube.
Cut so that, upon entering the suit, no skin is revealed. Skinless.
(Skinless cut)
(thanks to Saskia, fellow tomato performance person)'

as the book is Architecture/Fashion/Product, not everything is directly applicable to fashion, but interesting to consider.
particularly for packaging and transport.
