Shop for Skin

an installation at Mark A. Chapman Gallery, Kansas State University

October 16 – November 10, 2023

What does it look like when we die? What happens to the energy of a life, when no longer contained by our skin? The architecture of skin is a threshold for so many desires and projections, from inside out and outside in. A membrane of intimacy, joy, and pain. Yet how do we forge a partnership with grief, when the vessel of skin is gone and dissipation of matter isn’t physics theory? Find the forgotten corners, breathe in the dust, shop for skin outside time.
