Paddy Hartley’s career, a constant theme of investigation in his work is the way in which the human body is changed, modified and reconfigured either by choice or circumstance. Addressing subjects such as steroid use in bodybuilding, the discourse between faith groups and biomedical research, the ethics of human cloning and conflict acquired injury. His work has taken the form of installation, ceramic, assembled objects, garment creation and modification and digital embroidery. Hartley is a fashion designer who creates spectacular garments using the disfigurement participants in the war and how it affects them and their physical form. Paddy tells the person's story on a garment from there time in the war to the recovery.

Paddy tells the person's story on a garment from there time in the war to the recovery. Masks made from various fabrics are used to recreate the effect of the treatment, creating a hauntingly beautiful effect on the facial features of the model.
Paddy Hartley inspires me as he has the ability to turn devastation of the war effects into beautiful garment, his unique style,structure and visual effect of his garments is simply breathtaking.
