The first of three collaborations on this project was with Rachael Matthews.She had already knitted me a fat layer for the Textile Body and I wanted continuity with this piece . Once again she bought raw fleece and drop spindled it into a bumpy fat yarn which she then proceeded to knit up whilst we chatted in the studio. Sometimes she ran out of yarn in the middle of a row and so just spun a bit more there and then and carried on!
This layer sits behind the skin and above the next vascular layer and, as in a real body, cushions and masks what is below. Rachael also produced a spectacular piece for the vascular system which I shall feature later.
