Culture & Context

Both Body. Object. Touch. Hold. A collaboration between Anna Lewis and Samina Begum  Both worn and unworn, embraced and attacked, comforted and fearful, together and apart, drawn and repelled, touched and untouched. Both need the other simply to exist.  ‘Both’ is a collaborative making project reflecting human interaction, responses from body to body, reptile to human, body to object. Everything is about duality, connection and interaction.  The glass objects becoming part of their surroundings with the wearer and with each-other. To collaborate is to celebrate the power of two. Materials: cast glass range 5cm – 20cm Photography Laurentina MiksysModel Summer Gomes
