Week 3: Disrupt

I started this week by taking part in the soft sculpture workshop, where I developed on my idea of disruption of the human form…

Daisy Collingridge: Textile Designer

I came across work by Daisy Collingridge and found it very moving and on-theme to similar work I have been looking at from other artists.

She uses bulging flesh as a part of her art form and creates “squishy” flesh suits made from layers of wadding and stretched jersey.

She states “Their tactile fabric bodies and inviting colour exaggerate the warmth and softness of flesh- these elements which signify a living thing”.

I find this statement very interesting in her words of enthusiasm towards her “bodies” of work.

“Fabric offers skin like qualities that traditional sculpting materials do not have. Unlike marble or ceramic, they will not last forever, just like skin.”

She creates these suits which I think mimic the intricate human form in beautiful “warm and soft” colours. The form in which they’re presented give ideas of muscle beneath the skin as presented on the arms and legs of some of the “squishy” characters.

Artist Research - Daisy Collingridge

After doing the Filoconstructions workshop, and bringing my textile work into a more sculptural atmosphere, I wanted to do some research into artists who focus more in a sculptural area of textiles instead of fashion. Therefore I chose to conduct research on Daisy Collingridge.

Daisy Collingridge is a British mixed media artist who combines textiles with photography, sculpture and performace. She describes her work as “an exploration and celebration of the human form... harnessing a tactile and haptic quality of softness and colour”. She studied BA diploma in Fashion Design from Central Saint Martins, London from 2010 to 2014.

I think her work is incredibly interesting in terms of expression and texture. I really like how the softness of the fabric on the surface resembles the soft surface layers of people's skin, but by layering the fabric and making it so structured it also represents the integrity of the human body. The way she portray masculine and feminine elements of the body are also quite peculiar. It's not the usual way gender is portrayed in modern day art, and I find the way it is disrupted very relevant to the theme of my project.

Collingridge is fascinated by what is happening at present internally within the body, and also how the average person has no true concept of what they look like on the inside. Daisy's work aims to provide a perspective of this. Her work consists of hand dyed jersey fabric, primarilty in shades of pink, ochre, yellow and orange. The primary techniques used in Daisy work are stitching and quilting, she uses so many layers of fabric its almost unrecognisable as quilting. These techniques are used to tranform the soft, flimsy physicality of fabric into a structured and rigid medium. The layers of fabric and stitching are meant to mimic the muscle tendons and fibres of the human body.

Daisy Collingridge

Artist statement:

Daisy is an artist with an education in fashion design and a practise driven by craft. Her multi-disciplinary work investigates of the human form as the central theme. The work sits in an awkward space between, sculpture, performance and art. The ‘flesh suits’ or ‘Squishies’ are an exploration of fabric, form and flesh. Their tactile fabric bodies and inviting colour exaggerate the warmth and softness of flesh- these elements which signify a living thing. They are visceral. There is a desire to touch. Fabric offers skin like qualities that traditional sculpting materials do not have. Unlike marble or ceramic, they will not last forever, just like skin. The medium is more approachable and laced with meaning given that we all come into contact with fabric on a daily basis.

Each piece has their own character. They become real and take on their own identity. It feels natural to document their living moving selves in their own fantasy world. Yet their world mirrors our own with its heady mix of melancholy and joy. At the core of the work is a celebration of the human form. This complex body that we all exist in for a time. It asks the viewer to consider the body in every form and observe its potential.

Independent Project Mood Board - exaggerated body

I've referenced my body, or the female body, a lot this semester. This piece would be a continuation of that research. I aim to create appendages that exaggerate and amplify fatty, bulbous parts of my body like a double chin and sagging breasts, for example. I do not want to make a whole suit, instead I am aiming to create parts that resemble prosthetics, items that can be fastened to me via rubber band or a buckle so that the exaggeration is specific to the one area I am wearing it. The result would be a costume of sorts that shows my real body hidden beneath fleshy covers.

4me4you visits Gillian Jason Gallery  which featured "Hysteria"

ARTIST: Daisy Collingridge,  Eve de Haan,  Zarina Khan, Yaya Yajie Liang,  Tolu Magbagbeola,  Abigail McGinley,  Michelle Nguyen,  Mizuki Nishiyama,  Cosima Ross,  Esther Sarto,  Sitaara Stodel,  Olivia Valentine.

The misunderstanding of the female anatomy throughout history has led to an endemic misdiagnosis and lack of treatment for both physical and mental health conditions in women. ‘Hysteria’ sheds light on systemic injustice and the consequences of gender-bias on contemporary medicine through the work of twelve international female artists.

TEXTILE ARTIST DAISY COLLINGRIDGE’S QUILTED BODY SUITS.

Unit 9

Reference and Research 

London-based textile artist Daisy Collingridge graduated from Central Saint Martins with a degree in fashion design, though her textile creations aren’t what you’d typically see worn on the streets. Rather, her practice revolves around fabric manipulation and crosses into the realms of sculpture and performance. Her quilted body suits are reminiscent of plush children’s toys or fictional characters, with exaggerated, bulbous forms. The creations take lead from real human anatomy, with Collingridge then extending body parts such as boobs, stomach, and muscle systems into overlapping, squishy shapes.

The wearable costumes are photographed or performed striking confident, carefree poses, such as blowing a kiss to the camera, languidly lying around, dancing or jumping on trampolines. The fact that the cartoon-ish forms move around with the ease and ability of a person is surreal and almost off-putting, at the same time as being straight up entertaining. Underlying Collingridge’s humour and cheek, however, is a mission to challenge conventional body ideals, and examine the complexities of body image. The artist was inspired by the over-the-top aesthetics of body building, as well as an exhibition she saw during childhood called ‘Body World’; anatomical structures preserved in plastic, dissected human bodies and animals were displayed. The artist comes from a family of doctors and nurses, which she also credits with her bodily obsession.

No Communication Like This,Please

Fashion is a way of visual communication itself. We communicate visually with others through our clothes and it tells a little bit about our, lifestyle our hobbies.. etc. However, it should not has to be individual all the time. Many fashion brands express their identity on runways. It could be many things like minimalistic or avant-garde. Also, some artists turn fashion into their white canvas and communicate through it. On the top, there are two examples that how communication through fashion could not be. The first one is called The Squishies by Daisy May Collingridge. Overlapping layers of skin-like rolls that have been hand-stitched from jersey and cotton and filled with wadding, beanbag beans and sand. The squishy flesh suits were designed as a celebration of the human body in all its forms and aimed to deny the idea that there is an "ideal body" type. However, it looks creepy and is probably a very heavy, unconventional jumpsuit that probably no one wishes to be in it. The second one is The Claw and The Bum by Beate Karlsson. Swedish artist and designer Beate Karlsson used silicone to make shoes in the form of giant human hands, positioned in the gesture of a claw, and padded shorts that imitate reality star Kim Kardashian's bum. I strictly say no to this one also because again I find it creepy and non-sense. The pink colour even makes it much more terrific because it is actually close to human flesh colour.I believe that visual communication trough fashion should not be like this.

Vagina Dentata Zine, Issue 002

Available Here “We’re back, and we demand utopia! It’s been two years since Issue 001, but it feels like a lifetime. In that pre-Trump, pre-Brexit landscape, Science Fiction was being whimsically adopted on every runway. Whilst the genre remains as culturally relevant as ever, the way creatives are adopting SF has significantly changed. Issue 002 utilises fantasy as a medium for defying oppressive politics. For some this is confrontational, for others escapist; whether explicit or subtle this collection demands change. (210mm x 210mm, 40 pages - staple bound) *Best viewed through tiny matrix sunglasses.

Featuring collaborations with Dana Trippe, Aoi Itoh, Pol Kurucz, Natalie Baxter, Munachi Osegbu, LUPAE, Noémi Szabo, John Yuyi and Daisy Collingridge” "Somehow, this issue is even more bonkers than the last one....an explosion of colour with nods to aliens, Harajuku and the United Nations. Yes, all in one magazine…" – It's Nice That Editor – Smin Smith
