Skin Parasites
Focusing on the Bubonic Plague, particularly the symptoms of the skin; rashes, gangrene, buboes and bleeding of under the skin, I wanted to create parasite-like sculptures that represented these graphic and gruesome skin symptoms from that period of time. In essence, this creates a temporal layer of skin, almost a new identity to its host. Paralleling the lockdown restrictions that the government has put in place, my skin parasite sculptures represent how invasive that has been in the everyday by capturing the sculptures within the environment of my domestic uni accommodation.
