THE ITCH is a fashion artefact project exploring ontological instability and recursive identity through bodily-adjacent objects. Working primarily through footwear and hybrid forms, the project uses self-casting, graphite mark-making, and repetitive surface abrasion to examine narcissism, compulsion, and creative survival. Graphite operates as both drawing and residue, binding body, object, and gesture into artefacts that resist resolution and continually refer back to their own making.
Final work
THE ITCH
Silva Coco works alongside long-time collaborator Mimiko McVeigh to use the footwear artefacts as tools for mark-making, pressing, dragging, and abrading calico to generate new surface patterns. These material traces, produced through movement, weight, and repetition-are then passed to Edie Ashley, who translates the marks into garments, extending the artefacts’ logic from object to surface to clothing.
