Tailoring is about the perfect fit. Body shape and measurements are taken into account before any design is considered. Body size, pattern design, and the material used all contribute to each individual ‘look’. Today, for some people, this individuality has all but disappeared; lost through mass production and cost cutting by the clothing industry. ‘Mapping the Body’ is an exhibition of new work which investigates the history of pattern cutting in relation to individuality in clothing today by German textile artist Jeanette Sendler . The exhibition opens at Timespan on Saturday 23rd April 2011. The evening will begin with a talk by Jeanette on her work at 5.30pm, followed by a buffet supper and the official opening will be from 7-9pm.
