Inhabitant focuses primarily on the spaces that come about in between your skin, your body and a garment.
The coat is a two-dimensional crosscut, made from a rectangular piece of felted fabric. The crosscut makes the piece wearable and so: three-dimensional. The skin like texture of the felted merino wool, and its particular natural colour, go back to my initial intention: to represent an architectural space defined by your skin.
The cavities (the tunnels, openings, folds, etc…) seek to reflect not on a still body covered with a certain material, but rather upon the coat itself. The coat as something that moves like a mobile organism. The coat as an organism, moving and resting, nestling and crawling.
What is this coat? I see a being, an uninhabited shelter, an entity, resting on the chair; left alone and still, with all its human connotations.
