Rhian Solomon
Rhian Solomon is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of the Arts, London and Co-Director of OurOwnsKIN, a consultancy rethinking design for the body. Rhian’s practice interrogates contemporary perspectives of the human body. Brokering interactions between the design and medical communities, she creates projects that conceptually blur boundaries between the interfaces of skin and cloth, the body and dress. Her collaborative network, sKINship, emphasizes the body as a meeting place between reconstructive plastic surgeons, patients and designers. Rhian’s practice has been commissioned by and presented at the Welsh Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery, Wellcome Trust, British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, NIKE Design Kitchen, Maggie’s Cancer Care, Leverhulme Trust and the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
