As a studio art major and a sexual, women’s and gender
studies minor there is a large focus on identity. I am extremely interested in
the ways that identity can be explained and can therefore, in many instances define a
person. Through the use of tattoos, I want to explore the idea that while
tattoos are often times used as a way of self-expression of identity that does
not put a strict definition on a person for having them.
Through photographing tattoos up close along with their owner
I want to express that they are not one in the same. A person can be someone
other than what their bodies show. Having images of tattoos and faces shown
together without the knowledge of what tattoo belongs to whom shows that a
tattoo, or multiple, are not the only way a person can be seen.
