J.MENDEL FALL 2013 & VIRGINIA ELWOOD
|
The body is the most sensual medium for storytelling. Whether one chooses Mehndi, a traditional Hindu method of staining the skin, or the more permanent route- tattooing- ones skin discloses the stories of a life---a most revealing surface. Tattoo is the art of change- because the body in time is in perpetual, abstracted transition. Exteriority and interiority collapse- illuminating the fine art and beauty of (and on) the body itself. Virginia Elwood’s sophisticated, soulful tattoos (featured above, and at Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn) are mobile artworks- advancing through the world on the body of the traveler and evolving as the body ages.
