Jan 16, 2014 Artist uses his own skin as a canvas
I’m not quite sure why someone would do this, but then again, there is some really wacky stuff out there these days. Artist, David Cata, uses his very own skin as a canvas and sews in the face of those who have made a significant impact in his life: family, friends, teachers, loved ones, etc. I’m confused as hell, but I do have to admit it’s also pretty eerily awesome at the same time.
“Every person that we meet makes us in some way. Their image projects on us, reminding us where we come from. Their lives turn into a part of ours. Every stitch over my skin represents them, physical pain is not a boundary, it unites us more by thinking that my hand has been marked by an affective act, by thinking that, at that time, my hand touched their hand.”
