"The Peel of our Existence" explores the multi-fold meanings of thresholds; borders, both natural and man-made, the liminal space that exists between them, as well as implying divisions between, them. Rooted in the ancestral practice of scavenging, created out of a tattered rug, with giant cut outs, making it appear like the hide of a giant animal, but its fleshy tone suggests it may be human skin. Materials are assembled in the way of an articulated hide, or skein, hanging it with open wounds that reflect the ghost of the wearer or its inhabitant. Ropes and nets are created out of repurposed plastic and fabric to connect the many parts of the piece, to keep it together from falling apart. The wrapping effort a metaphor to what human intervention does in nature, nets are placed in coastal areas to protect them from further erosion. Is it to protect? Or is it to trap? The nets and ropes suggesting the immanent presence of water, its colossal force, the silence of its presence forever within us.
