Gut Feeling

THIS PIECE OF TEXTILE IS INSPIRED BY THE INUIT GUT PARKA.

THIS YUP’IK PARKA IS MADE OUT OF WHALE INTESTINES AND SCALPED BIRDS. I RE-MADE IT IN WHITE, WITH PIG AND COW INTESTINES. BESIDES THIS I ALSO MADE MY OWN MATERIAL (YARN) OUT OF WASTE PIGS, COW AND GOAT INTESTINES THROUGH USING TECHNIQUES THAT THE INUITS ALSO USED TO PERSERVE THEIR TEXTILE. THIS RESEARCH WAS ENOUGH TO BASE TEN PROJECTS ON BECAUSE THE STORIES AND DIFFERENT APPROACHES I FOUND ON THIS TOPIC WHERE ASTONISHING.
