Sticks and Stones
This project 'Sticks and Stones' focuses mainly on traces left on the skin from operations, self-inflicted injuries or accidents. In the process of working on this project the images gradually focussed on the effects and documentation of time on the body and the way the skin reacts to environmental stressors. From the impermanence of traces such as bruises or indents, compared to the permanence and historical record of scars, they all provide a narrative. It interests me that there is something often heroic about a scar, a point of pride. Inversely there can be something embarrassing or shameful about self-harm scars or birthmarks and blemishes, something to hide.
