My book making practice is about the human body. These boxes are based on human fat cells and refer to the cosmetic industry and its use of packaging and display.

Consisting of a series of boxes which sit inside one another, my work beautifies the subject matter, altering and enhancing the fat cell image. By removing the outer box lids the imagery gets stripped down to a basic form.

The work is about manipulating the subject matter, to highlight how the cosmetic industry use fats in their products that we apply to enhance our appearance.
