A seminar on Mary Kelly's 'Re-writing Modernist Criticism' today made me consider the ways in which we as artists use our body. Having studied Media, I was intrigued in her application of semiotics and the science of signs to her art work, forcing us to examine what goes without saying, and to "make explicit what one implicitly knows", particularly in relation to the body. Considering the application of signs, I began to consider the use of photographs as indexical signs - implying a previous presence and providing almost a print of that moment. Developing on these theories, I experimented with the pieces below, printing my body onto bed sheets, using printing ink and acrylic paint.
