Skin is space, Space is skin

^{Steel wool

2022}

This work explores the sense of protection one feels within one's body - within one's "skin".
When what we think of as skin - a surface layer attached to the body - is extended in three dimensions to become a space, it may reveal itself to be more complex than previously thought: more than just a border between the internal and the external.
Then it grows, overtaking the space... becoming one with what is threatening me....
I am embracing overgrowing forces
