cosmetic facial peel, wood, metal, thread, blood
installation dimensions variable
This site-specific installation for the Adobe Bookshop window includes a series of mixed media sculptures. Each sculpture is constructed out of an embroidery hoop with the residue of a cosmetic facial peel stretched over it. Then, epidermal structures and inhabitants were drawn on the peel in blood. Glands, ducts, and mites populate the embroidery hoops. Patch-like sewing was done on the sculptures with scraps of facial peel and thread. The imprint of skin is visible on the peel's surface.
