Material studies

Skulls and femurs:
The objects which will form the 'skeletons' for the garments for this collection i have been looking at the skeleton itself for inspiration but looking at contemporary ways of depicting this..
The Catacombs are very interesting; in the way the bones are assembled. there are some interesting patterns and texture that could come from this. I have mainly come across the skull and femurs in the pictures. Even the early pictures i posted from the Killing Fields contained all skulls and femurs. Im not sure if this has a significance or not... but i would like to concentrate on this for one of the objects that i will be building the garment around.

Looking into creating this piled bone pattern into the wire-mesh - using the lace as the 'hidden' garment and dissolvable to sink in and react with the object creating the shape in the fabric.
