Skeletal Structures

  • Gemma Fernandes
Intrigued by the convergence of fragility with rigidity this project has developed into a collection of arching, curving and coiling three-dimensional forms integrating hard and soft materials. The inspiration for this project came specifically from the skeletal composition of fish, a structure that is firm yet flexible, strengthening yet frail. Delving further into this concept my objective has been to create structured platforms that both control and manipulate fabric into organic sculpted objects capturing elements of delicacy, flexibility and solidity to reflect the qualities of a fish skeleton.
