Charlotte Hodes – ‘Drawing Skirts’ Video

This video explores how artist Charlotte Hodes researched and created work for
her recent exhibition ‘ Drawing Skirts’. An exhibition of figurative papercut silhouettes and motifs, based on the dressmaker’s paper patterns. It reveals her combined technical and artistic skills to produce works of considerable scale and invention, using the scalpel blade as the equivalent of the fine line of a pencil.

‘Drawing Skirts’ was the outcome of a collaboration between Charlotte Hodes, Senior Research Fellow, London College of Fashion and Dr. Cathy Treadaway, Research Fellow at Cardiff School of Art and Design, University of Wales Institute and Visiting Research Fellow in Computer Science at University of Bath. The research project ‘A Collaborative Investigation into the Role of the Hand Craft and Digital Processes within Creative Practice’ was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
