Edinburgh College of Art Degree Show: Kali's Thorax - Glass Corset
The corset - made from one piece of glass - was blown into a negative body cast, cut into four pieces, drilled and laced together. It is displayed sitting on a glass stand, enabling the viewers to look inside and grasp the size of the body squeezed into the corset.
   Exhibited next to the corset, on the wall, are two life-size black and white photographs, of a woman wearing the corset. The transparent glass reveals how the corset cuts and compresses the flesh as a Victorian bone corset would have done.
   The piece speaks of the torment and pain, mainly women suffer, while adhering to the trends of fashion. It displays how fashion, not only in the Victorian era but still today, lures women into damaging their bodies in order to look slim.
