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!

new year.

I set a goal for this year. I set many. About 100, actually. One of them is completed, 99 to go :)!

I want 100 participants in Symbolic Skin. Easy peasy. No? We'll see how it goes. The first thing I'm about to do as soon as hollidays are over and I have at least a tiny chance to some time for my projects is to write a list of everybody, every organisation, every magazine, every hompage that might reach a possible participant. So, if you have dropped by here and feel an incling to give me a tip, I would be so grateful indeed! If this is the first time you dropped by you can find info on the project at the project background page for example. Short version : collaborative global art project on the theme of vulnerability (and also strength as it turns out).

Much love!
