The world around my body feels like a reflection of anatomical structures.
For example the nervous system is as sensitive as the roots of a tree and the spinal cord works as an information highway running between the brain and body.
With my work, I externalize the inside of the body in a fictional way.
To visualize that idea, I create wearable art and sculptures.
My wearable art objects are called "Exonerves."
I explore human anatomy to extend and morph a mental state into the physical state.
I reference body parts, like fictitious distorted images of nerves, vertebrae, and organ tissue into my designs.
The body is turned inside out and elements of a vulnerable inside are turned into both protective and defensive mechanisms on the outside.
By wearing my pieces, the intention is to see sensitivity as a strength.
With special thanks to Justin Reinir Croes, Rebecca Levy & Dave Knibbe to realize this artwork.
The make-up, video, photography, metal welded folding frame, metal welded spine holder, lightbox, sculptures and wearable art are all done, designed and hand made by Savannah Bredow.
