TOUCH MY SKIN (works on card paper). These paintings are linked by their focus on touch and the desire to touch - closeness and small spaces are painted to almost feel another human being. Body fragments are deformed to enhance this feeling, to augment the heaviness and primitiveness of the figures, and to make them more easily recognizable like a primal code or language.
