- Being quite obsessed with geometry and forms, I considered how lines form triangles and through visual observation found that the texture of my skin naturally generates triangular shapes.The final outcome is a series of photographs which explores the geometry hidden in the texture of my skin.I manipulated the images in order to highlight the texture with the aim of “making visible the invisible”. I used scale, proportion, colour and light to emphasise the form so that the surfaces acquired depth, becoming more tactile. As Donis A. Dondis states, ‘texture is the visual element that frequently serves as a stand-in for the quality of another sense, touching’.The source of the images becomes abstract, and the link to skin is only revealed in the introductory text by Ellen Lupton.
