BODY CANVAS

BODY CANVAS

The body is a blank canvas. It’s a collection of self-expression and body appreciation. I began to draw “marks” on my body and then used transparent paper to trace the drawings. It’s a process to re-render my “marks” and treat my body as a blank canvas. It’s a self-reflection about the personal experience of my slow-paced walk. Also inspired by cubist paintings, I describe body parts as geometric shapes, challenging the development of silhouette with the most basic elements in an artwork. The softness and texture of the knit make the geometry and the body form an intimate relationship.
