I'm particularly interested in representations of skin. Images or creative interpretations of a subject say far more about cultural attitudes, trends, and the artist than the depiction often does.
Featured here is the student work of
rileypile which I find particularly engaging for its diversity and fresh, raw intersections of materiality, object and line. Yes. Fresh
and raw, and sort of meaty...

Hey Tarryn (if that is how you spell it?, just wanted to say thanks for the great post, you have managed to 2reinspire" me back to my college project. I am studying Textiles but doing a project that focuses on skin under the theme of "beneath the surface". Your blog is a gold mine for inspiration for my project and I just wanted to say thanks. I have started blogging too, and I'm not particularly good at it either. I am now following you, would you be able to follow me too? I would love to hear comments that you have (I already know my english is bad, but I am working on that). Thanks again. Nicole Graden @filledepennylane.blogspot.co.uk
