W.I.Y.S.S?- What is your second skin? explores biracial identity and the dissonance between identity and perceived identity. Body and symbol become one, interchangeable, and influence each other. Made with an overtwisted woollen yarn, the knitted tubes distort and abstract the human form.
How are you precived?
Natural elasticity - W.I.Y.S.S? focuses on reactionary knitwear design and explores the author’s Igbo heritage through the use of colour, rituals, and patterns. The high elasticity and structure of the woollen elastic yarn enable different transparency levels and allow the patterns to change and adapt to the wearer. This ability to distort and abstract the human form represents the nonverbal, additional layer of being by which we are red by our environment.
