Reconsider the human body. Allow science to meet the creative. The body’s diverse structures and components are commonly presented to us in a stale, diagrammed format. Yet we are home to a fabric unlike any other—our closely-knit tissues do more than cover, protect, and support our vital elements. These tissues are intricate in form and are sources of unexpected beauty. I wish to translate the grandeur of our inner anatomy to the outward application of knit apparel. Instead of merely acknowledging the body as a clinical, unfamiliar territory, we should embrace and explore its artistic successes as well. My focus for this collection is the four tissue groups in the human body: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nerve. These groups possess extraordinary characteristics that I hope to capture with clothing.
