Marks of the Mental

Marks of the Mental, 2022

Naked body, molasses, clear plastic sheeting, blue drip tray for hazardous waste, breath

By covering my brown body entirely with molasses and subsequently making a print of it onto plastic sheeting, I engage in a process of continous adding and removal. Spanning over six months, the extended duration ritualizes the body print as a site of death and rebirth.
