At one point in life or another, and for a myriad of reasons, we have all felt vulnerable. The feeling may manifest itself in our bodies and thoughts in different ways and we have our own ways of reacting to it. Or not reacting. I think one way of expressing this vulnerability is that it may feel like you stand before something or someone without any protection, almost like being without skin. And that we can feel the need for some kind of extra skin to wrap around us for warmth, comfort, protection, support...

If you were to make such a symbolic skin - what would it look like?

This blog is dedicated to my project Symbolic Skin. Here, I will present contributions to the project, blog abot it's process and my thoughts around it's theme. Fuller information can be found on the pages above. Feel welcome to join in, read, comment and discuss!

Paper

I just came up with an idea of how to treat or prepare possible "paperskins" so I can sew them together with the skins of other materials. Therefore: no restrictions on creating skins in paper anymore! All of you who feel like drawing, painting, making a collage, papercutting, scrapbooking a skin - and don't feel like canvas was a good idea - welcome to participate =).

I'm still exited about the skins I've gotten so far, and am SO looking forward to coming into contact with more of you, and your creations and words and ideas!

After the summer I will also have access to a postbox, so there will be an actual adress to send skins to soon... For now, if you want to get into touch with me without leaving a comment here on the blog: email me on robin@bzbz.nu.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!
