I'm combining the visuals from my fungi studies, which is for the Nexus exhibition, with the idea of creating a different image for lace. I am hoping to use and challenge paper as a material so I can create my own lace. I want to translate my work onto the body but I don't want it to be 'sexy' because it is such a common image for lace, I'd rather show it as an imposition on the body or to the skin, so that's what I will be working on.

This image is inspiration for how space can be used effectively using a simple material. It also shows how the body can be utilised without actually being present.
