This is the piece Carapace by Dai Rees, shown at Aware - art fashion identity this year. Unfortunately I missed the exhibition but found this work when researching Hussein Chalayan, who had work at the same exhibition. He uses pattern blocks and manipulates them with thick leather hide. These are really interesting processes that are very subtle like leather marquetry.
