SKIN TAGS
Exhibition at Molt Berlin, 8-10 September 2023
Skin tags is a series of pieces inspired by personal memories, where patterns of beliefs and complexes from the past are considered layers of skins that affect the body in the present. Working with this metaphor allowed me to elaborate the pieces as part of a personal process of acceptance. Resilience is then possible by exposing oneself, showing the skin with its marks as a trans-formative gesture.
In the exhibition I showed some samples of biomaterials, results of the experimentation with different recipes that I have been gathering since 2020, I have worked mainly with algae polymers such as Alginate, Agar Agar, Carrageenan, and these in conjunction with other materials such as charcoal, cotton and natural dyes.
