Mark Fast's signature cobweb knits experiment with tensions and restricting the body. By building areas of opaque and transparency the garment both acknowledges the body that it is strangulating but continues to do so. This acknowledgement of the body is something I hope to look at with my own work - reminding the wearer and viewer of the animal visceralness hidden behind the veneer of the garment.
