Skin

Born out of a fascination with the image of an illuminated doorway, Skin is a meditation on boundaries, borders and the shortness of life. Using body, image, text and sound, Skin explores the significance and insignificance of the human experience within the vastness of earth and its atmosphere.

This performance examines the edges of the architecture of our homes, psychology and the earth’s construct, taking a voyage from the earth’s core to the exosphere.
