Talking
BODY MANIPULATION With GAVIN VAUGHAN Gaving Vaughan (@houseofmesmer on IG) is a very talented young designer, who uses slime, embroidery, taxidermy, and combines his visual skills with science to create his very elaborate and signature work. In this interview we talk about how he begins a project and what inspires him to keep moving forward. He is working on projects which bring the future closer to us, with the idea of home DNA altering kits, and smart organisms embedded into his embroidery work using slime; and by merging the traditional methods of goldwork and embellishment with DNA alterations, it brings the concept closer to today’s world. 12
Hi Gavin! Glad to have you today and thank you for joining us for our November issue at GoldFoil Magazine. How are you today? I am good, thank you. And yourself?
I am great, thank you. For those of our audience who have not come across your work, tell us what do you do? My work covers across three categories which are - embroidery, sex, and science. My work is a blur between them three in a crossover. It explores the human body in different ways. Sometimes it is embellishing the body or editing the body in some form.
