Performance, various locations / 2017-2019
My Words Your Body is a performative approach to tattooing that involves blind trust. The tattoo will be determined by through a conversation with the participant, who will not see it until completion. The participant accords me the right to mark their body, a living canvas, without prior knowledge of the outcome. During the conversation questions are raised that are not necessarily comfortable, but evoke a deeper insight than the ‘usual small talk’ between strangers. The project enables the participant to open up, allows them to be vulnerable in a ‘safe’ one-on-one environment. The denouement is not instant. This project was documented on film and video.
