This untitled installation consists of 18 light boxes holding handmade paper, embossed with text and imagery within. Seeing paper as a membrane similar to skin, I interrogate the way skin mediates femininity, and societal gaze. My skin holds a contradiction of undesirable marks through the simulation of scars and imperfections through the treatment of the raw material holding tension between the desirable, fetishizable assumption of brown skin, with the reality of existing within it. By engaging in the reproduced image of the self, specifically through the user of scanned imagery, I interrogate ideas of the self mediated through imagery, that could be myself but also a blur of any brown skin.
