THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT, custom sculpture for Sidhant Sudhan and his London College of Fashion MA ’23.
Model: Kit Costello

The collection aims to highlight how our incessant need to control hampers with our evolution. Depicted through the 6 stages of demonic possession. The said look wherein the demonic entity leaves one host’s body to latch on to the host it sees as being more vulnerable and self-diminishing.

Inspired by the works of Austin Osman Spare, I practised Chaos magic (a form of Black Magic) from his philosophy Zos Kia which highlights the power of the subconscious mind to produce art that is authentic.

“He was revealed the material right after which he had to start working with it.
The time was limited and he embraced this challenge with gusto, making his biggest sculpture yet.
A huge moment of gratitude for his belief in my work and his gracious contribution to the collection” Sidhant Sudhan
