I am deeply interested in the Scarification of African Tribes. The intricate nature of the patterns inspired my work and the processes I have explored.

I have created a range of collars made out of latex rubber. I utilised the latex as a medium to emulate the skin and to show it does not have to be seen as a ‘fetishist’ material.

Through further development of the material, I added powdered metal to create a representation of the patterns of Scarification but also to maintain flexibility in my pieces.

The unique combination of these materials allows the metal to react with the latex and this I have been able to manipulate to create different colourations.
