This Artist Creates Anatomical Forms From Zippers And Fabric

Elodie Antoine creates anatomical forms from felt, lycra, and a lot of zippers. The different tissues in the human body are seen in the textiles she uses. Antoine believes that textiles are sensual and transformable, making them the perfect material for creating anatomical sculptures. Colossal has the details: 

From a young age, Antoine remembers a fondness for textiles, saying, “using it was obvious for me as both my parents were very interested in knitting and sewing—it was all around me.” She familiarized herself with classic sewing techniques, mastering them to create contemporary forms that transcend technique and fiber. Particularly interesting are her felt sculptures that take on the form of teeth, lower limbs, bones, and other peculiar organic forms. Antoine uses a kitchen knife to slice through the unassuming masses to reveal vibrant anatomical-like cross-sections.
