within without

This installation is a play upon the ideas of skin, clothing, and the body in light of a post-Cartesian definition of self. Is the body something we exist within like our clothing? Is the skin a fragile dress we can simply remove and our existence continue or is it the core of our existence? Are we within or without of our bodies? These images are from installations of this work at the University Art Gallery at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, IN, and Art Space in Raleigh, NC.
