Precious Skin

The fish scales as the fish themselves are reminded in these illustrations and embroideries by a play of layering of transparencies, sparkling and pearly details. This project intends to underline the precious aspect of fish skin through a blend of colours, materials and different textures. The embroidery superimposes the drawings like a kind of second skin, where patterns of scales overlap to create relief.
