INSPIRED BY

Anatomy
unconventional textiles


EXPLORING:

To be determined. Maybe an art installation, wall sculpture, giant painting/drawing, or textile art? Possibly making my suit for my upcoming NPC competition? Or creating suit(s) out of unconventional textiles that juxtapose the glamor/health/femininity the female bodybuilding industry falsely promotes to onlookers?

INSPIRATION FOR PROJECT:

Anatomy, medical illustration, hyperrealism, contrast, unconventional textiles
