Detailing the daily routine of a body living in an altered plane of existence, where the restrictions and boundaries of the body are unsheathed. Thus, allowing for the discarding of the flesh and organs to run amuck freely. Delving into the relationship between the body and the self, The Skin I’m In aims to force a confrontation with the audience and their body.
Coalescence
Oil on canvas | 28" x 24 1/2"
As the skin is untethered , all that remains is a body in shambles, a pile of left overs. At rest, there is a reunion between the self and its constitutes; as the loose flesh falls apart, when bones turn to dirt and stone, coalescence is achieved.
The Great Escape

While the Eyeballs flee from the sockets that held them before the Body recoils in shock, attempting to ensnarl them back into their crevice. Normally cause for alarm, in this space it is a daily necessity to catch one's eyes.
Skin Scavengers

As the Body and its organs share an intimate relationship, so too does each organ to its fellow organ. The Eyeballs return to gather the skin after abandoning the Body, adoring themselves in the flesh of their captor, they quickly flee with their newly acquired goods.
