I wish I could find a better picture of this...it's a piece by polish artist Pawel Althamer, called "Skin" --currently exhibited at the New Museum in NYC. The whole thing, which is anatomically correct, is made from animal intestines. The photo I saw in the New Yorker shows it better, you can see the seams and construction more clearly. It raises a lot oF questions for me, such as - why did he decide on raglan sleeves? How much was the patterning of the piece dependant on the size of the intestines, and did he need to find really big animals? Also, im curious if he studied classic leather glove making techniques for the hands and feet. Did he pattern it all himself, or have help, and if so, did he sew it up himself? because it seems like finding someone to contract it out to might be difficult....
Also, how did he make the nipples?
