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!

Adress. Deadline.

The other day I finally got round to picking up the keys to my postbox, and so now there is finally an adress to which you can send your symbolic skins and words if you want to participate! I'm so looking forward to maybe hearing from you and seeing this idea come into form.
The adress is:
Robin Knight
PB 21027
10031 Stockholm
Sweden
I have also decided that it may be better to have a deadline for when I give up on this wonderful project/start putting all the wonderful contributions together into a smashingly fabulous work of art. And it will be end of next year - new years eve 2012. So hurry scurry!! If you have any questions or comments - just let me now, here as a comment or on my mail: robin@bzbz.nu.
Lot's of love!

all brand new

Two days ago, we welcomed our daughter to the world. And now we are trying to settle in this new family constellation. Which feels totally right and... I think complete is the word I'm looking for. And I have to find out how best to be a brand new mother of two. It's not obvious. And of course how to mother this little project and see if I can, after all, make it fly or not. First thing is to go get the keys and adress to my P.O. Box. When I can walk that long, that is =).
Hope to hear from you,
R.
