Textile Art + Anatomy

Karine Jollet is a phenomenal textile artist, who has created these quite marvellous anatomical sculptures.

Fabrics are materials that came naturally to me as an analogy to our own biological tissues: bones, fibres, cristalls...

I start with old bed sheets and shirts, embroided handkerchieves and second-hand fabrics that I cut up, put the fragments together, pad them and then sew them by hand.
