Changing to Summer
2005
This installation is comprised of a single channel video and photographs. The project documents sessions at a tanning salon, where I monitor the changing gradation of my skin tone. The change in skin colour is recognized by the placement of stickers onto my body. The stickers are designed from textile motifs that represent my cultural backgrounds. Images of paisleys become marked on my torso, and become a body design or camouflage.
