About me
My current practice involves the fabrication of art garments using fabrics such as silk and linen and also the contraction of welded iron display structures. The fabricated art garments fabricated with a minimalistic approach, which can be worn by the contraction iron display structures (living display stands) and by wears. I am interested in the garments specifically being conceived as gender non-specific. I am also interested in a live ceremony during events, a Ceremony that shifts the composition of a space. An exploration of a morbid nature of a natural commencement and conclusion of living objects, shifting the perspective of a 'wearer' true the fabrication of garments and welded display stands that also have a natural beginning and ending.

    I sometimes wish I stayed inside my motherI sometimes wish I stayed inside my mother Launch of Jai Jai This fashion—art event on the 30th of March marks the launch of Jai Jai, a new brand by Jai Thorn. Jai Jai responds to the materiality of the human body as one object in a spectrum of living organisms. Using a range of organic materials and fabrics that mimic the human form, Jai Jai art garments are developed in relation to living display structures that represent the human form. In this fashion—art event, choreographed models will be intentionally object-ified as living organisms to display the garments, which are purposefully conceived as gender non-specific.
