SECOND SKIN


“Second Skin” plays with the ideas of reparative objectification and material kinship, pulling art objects and performance together in an effort to humanize the object and objectify the human. This exhibition aims to open up explorative play grounded in transsexual/object relationships, from finding personhood in leather, lace, and latex to the euphoria of becoming an object at the hands of another. Beyond kinship, this objectification also holds another use, twisting the indignities of survival in a commodified world into a type of subversive personal agency. Using a blend of sculpture, photography, painting, printmaking, and performance, Steele, Eden, aHawk open space for viewers and friends to delight in experiences of euphoric community–both human and non-human– and draw heavily from their lived experience with kink, T4T relationships, and sex work to explore the power and pleasure of the body-as-object.
