Outer Shell
Artist/Maker: Davidson, Beth
Place Made: Gray's School of Art
Date: 2022
Awards: RGU Art and Heritage Fashion Design Principal Purchase Award 2022

Flesh tone full body suit.
Artist's statement:
Outer shell is a visual representation of feelings of claustrophobia and confinement contrasting with the need for protection, due to anxieties exacerbated by Covid within current society.
Traditional manufacturing begins to blur with digital innovation in an increasingly changing clothing industry. My practice uses digital design processes as a sustainability mechanism, reducing development costs and end use waste - a constant consequence of clothing production.
The collection explores both fragility and futurism - the soft stretch and transparency of organza move harmoniously with the wearer providing both comfort and shelter, whilst also consuming and enveloping.
