Sleeping Patterns.

 I did this for my drawing class as my final project about a year ago. I was very interested in how the body could be the applicator of the mark onto space. I started to think about my body where I was most comfortable with myself. Sleep. So, I covered my body in black paint and I slept the night on a large piece of canvas. What were left was the shadows of my movements throughout sleep. In the morning I took a bath and filled 75 glass milk jugs with the remnants of what I washed away. The final image was the canvas hanging on the wall like a tapestry, it was hung with delicacy and pride in the center showing my confidence in my body when I was at peace. The bottles were put in rows in front of the canvas to demonstrate the concealment and removal of the darkness of the way I perceived myself. It was a piece that I was very proud of, unfortunately I never got a picture of it in its entirety but I do still have the canvas.
