Coagulate top by Molly Turner

Textile / Classical Floral Figurative

Molded silicone (using laser-cut molds).
Garment.

The skirt and top from the "Rubber Orchid" series are a further development of an earlier project based on Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto. The project explored women's relationship with technology in an effort to undermine patriarchal science fiction archetypes. Molly Turner also wanted to reflect on the importance of handicrafts in the digital age. Both approaches led to work with knitted elastic garments moulded from silicone. She combined this with medical details from waist trainers and posture correctors to present a kind of post-cyber feminist uniform. The moulded silicone pieces were created in an attempt to produce a 100% recyclable garment as well as a vegan and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional leather goods. The modern, artificial material contrasts with the strongly stylized traditional flower pattern.
