Rowan Mersh


Have just finished my dissertation (hooray!)
It was a case study of this guy - truly inspirational sculptor who works mainly with stretch jersey in these series'
Unexpected materials (toothpicks and CDs inside!)
and the way he uses the female body as a frame for his sculptures makes them instantly couture fashion material!
Enjoy! x
