Utilising film to immerses spectators in the juxtaposing comfort and discomfort of being within one’s skin, an unspoken innate feeling.
Notions of our psychosomatic understanding of skin underpin my practice – focusing on both materiality and the concept of the skin ego, I explore and analyse the metaphoric meaning of skin and the identity it carries. As a ‘symbolic surface between self and world, a surface whose status has been undergoing a striking change over the last centuries', the skin is integral to humanity yet so overlooked, leaving our feelings surrounding it unspoken. My films showcase the navigation of a hugely intricate complex matter, highlighting one urge to look beneath the skin (film 1), find comfort within it (Film 2) and escape it (film 3) inviting spectators to delve deeper into what skin means to them.
