VCA ART 2021

Yvette James

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours)

Our epidermis is a semi-permeable boundary. Our bodies expand and retract beyond this border. Skin cells reduced to dust are still a part of me. My work explores the nature of our bodies in relation to fluidly exchange influence with our surroundings – stretching and shrinking.
 Our corporeal self is fragmented by data. This computerised detritus is an organ of our bodies, extended beyond our reach. Information is scraped from our anatomy, recording personal idiosyncrasies and complex emotional states. These splinters of the body are exploited behind an opaque screen, and used to monetise us, to manipulate us and to reinforce marginalisation.
