WEIRD SKIN PROJECT _transform

2022 | various yarn, raffia, ribbon, rope | 45” x 36”(wall piece) 16” x 56”(body piece)

This project comes from my own vulnerability toward skin discomfort. Diverse fluffy, bumpy textures symbolize an array of scars and wounds. Flat wall pieces undergo metamorphosis, turning into a garment-like piece. This transformation expresses not only my complicated emotions toward my vulnerability, but also a visual metaphor of overcoming negative emotions.
