Skin Canvas

  • Frances Segismundo
An attempt to comment on the debate whether tattoos could be art. Applying the idea of translation between fine art and tattoos, the project modifies the fine art practice by using the tools of the tattoo artist. Brushes as needles, skin as canvas, paint as ink. The frames are interactive and demonstrates the movements the body creates.

Skin sheets were made by Frances Segismundo, using Platsil gel (commonly used for theatre and film prosthetics)
