Commissioned by Expressions Dance Company for the Core Borders Season, May 2008. Performed at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Art.
“Skin performs the following functions: Protection: an anatomical barrier from pathogens and damage between the internal and external environment in bodily defense Aesthetics and communication: others see our skin and can assess our mood, physical state and attractiveness” “Severely damaged skin will try to heal by forming scar tissue”
“Because it interfaces with the surroundings skin plays a very important role in protecting (the body)”
