new skins
by pedro pires from uk
designer's own words:
new skins is a ongoing investigation about sculptures that use the human body as the starting point. pedro pires uses his own body, casting it in plaster, resin and metal. He then covers it with materials or objects, hiding the body and revealing a new skin or persona, characterized by the materials used.
the project is the result of an investigation about the way that materials and object create new meanings when organized in an anthropomorphic order.
