‘Articulated Hides’ explores the techniques of leathercrafting through sculptural form. Stitching, moulding, and dyeing have all been done by hand to create a dynamic form across its space. Leather – a material from waste – has been a part of our history for thousands of years. It is durable and, when cared for, can last a lifetime.

Leather is used for bags, objects, furnishings, and sculptures, all of which can be blurred together. The techniques for crafting remain the same while the form of the final piece can vary dramatically.
