Sending messages through fashion
Many different techniques have been used to create each section of this veal carcass. The spinal chord was made with a glue gun and the darker sections of the carcass are a combination of small cut-outs of canvas stained with a variety of red inks.
Fashion is present everywhere and at all times. I believe it is one of the most efficient ways of sending a message to a broader public.
Fashion has been used by many organisations, such as the NYU Cancer Institute which collaborated with Marc Jacobs in the campaign 'Protect your skin' used to raise awareness about skin cancer. Similarly, I have chosen to turn this piece into an item of clothing (I wrapped the carcass and made it into a top and combined it with a black tulle) to send a message regarding animal cruelty in the meat industry.
