“Human Geography” is a series of body-painted portraits and a collaborative effort with painter, Radhika Hersey. Human geography, or anthropogeography, is a branch of geography that explores how humans have understood, used, and changed the surface of the earth. Working from that human-centric premise, my work takes this notion one step further: not only do human beings have a profound impact on the earth, but the earth also “reciprocates” by making its mark on us. By using the body as a canvas, imprinted upon by elements from the landscape, I examine this dynamic relationship.
