The Skin
is our largest organ and outsider protection. It gives
us a vital protective layer, is crucial for our sense of
touch and provides us with a highly sensitive and
visible interface between our inner body and the outside
world.
This piece encompasses the theme of how the “Skin”
relates to: shelter, home, identity, gender, geography.
It envelopes the multiple textures of the body , the
voice, allowing many separate and distinct readings.
The human cell structure – “Nucleus, Cytoplasm, Membrane”,
provides the ‘creative tissue’ for “Contract With The
Skin” concept.
