Item description
An abstract photograph of a tan bodysuit draped over an obscured figure. The figure wears a black bodysuit, blending seamlessly into the black background. This creates the illusion of the tan suit floating in space. An uncannily realistic paper mache mask of the artist’s face lays at the figure’s feet.

Another image in the same 'skin' suit series, but here I have completely masked out my body and am using the bodysuit as a puppet of sorts- stretching the material as an extension of myself, turning it inside out, adding in extra limbs, beyond my physical capabilities. I want viewers to expand their ideals of the 'norm' and I hope to express beauty, as well as the resilience and fragility of the human body.
