Are You Book Enough Challenge 2020 - June Theme, Human

Beneath the Skin - We are the Same. The conceptfor this project was to look beyond what the eye can see and focus on how humans are the same. A simple cookie cutter body shape was used to create the bodies and cut from a concertina fold book to create a chain of humans.

The next step was to cover each of the body shapes with pages from an old dictionary, representing the human ability to think, to reason and to learn. 

Cardboard covered with gelli plate prints were then attached to the ends to create a front and back cover or skin. Different skins but not identifiable as any race, no features and nothing to reference gender.

Look beneath the skin and you will find a chain of humans, united by what makes us them the same.
