Sorry, friends: this update post is so overdue!
My studio space is currently covered in thick sheets of card stock, the perfect medium for carrying the prints I made from an X-ray image of my chest. This print will form the basis of an autobiographical piece on the nature of the self.
Specifically, I want to investigate what one might have in mind when they ask questions about who they are "as a person." What does it mean to know yourself? How does my embodied experience of myself as a person in the world relate to this X-ray image of my physical body? Why does this image of my chest, lungs, and heart feel so familiar on the one hand and is simultaneously so different from how I think of myself?
