Skin Culture
Atkinson’s art involves gathering processes of found
objects, information within my community culture. Working a gathering process of items and
information, tells me what the end creation will be.
Context inspired by personal
experience outside of art school, items found within my community.
Conversations over heard, Incidents witnessed, personal statements from people
who have experienced racial equality. A constant talking drum, of skin cultural
information.
Skin Culture within the
media; we adorn, modify, verbalize our skin in modern day culture. Use like a
canvas or advertising notice board. Addressing racial skin culture, verbal propaganda in an artistic and
sarcastic way.
Skin
records your life journey. Marks of age, childbirth, injury or violence.
Does
skin have a purpose use in art, or are we repulsed by it as an art material and
its cultural discrimination's, should they be hidden not mentioned or explored
within the art world.
