Shifts - Body as Border
SHIFTS - 2022
Shifts - A conceptual series of photographic self-portraits thinking about bordering and bodies.
The painting is gouache on old maps I found at a flea market in Italy. I took the maps apart and rearranged them into this borderline.....blue references water for me in this work and the black interrupted line the traditional marking on a map for a border or division of some sort. I have also been thinking recently about "The Commons" and how that historically existed. These were made as I prepared documentation for exhibitions in Rome, Italy and Davidson, North Carolina (2022).
