the archive of touch

Plaster of paris
Life-size

The body is a quiet archive of touch. Its surface collects the freshest oils, the first sprouting roots, flecks of travelled dust, they cling on to the material. In its rawness, the body remembers, records and continues to perform.

I wonder what the body confesses when it is cast in silence?

if you've come this far, we may as well stay in touch.
