Tattoos & Clay
Clay, flour and pigments, all in my hand as I attempted to express our connection to mother earth and the universe. As I painted, applied the clay and engulfed the body with flour, I could feel our animal and spiritual natures rising to the surface. Strangely, destructively and sadly we see ourselves apart from nature, as its master destroying everything in our wake. The ink/tattoo embodiments of the body are not my work. However, all of these images connected me to our beginnings, where early humans pierced and colored the body.
