Joan Livingstone

JOAN LIVINGSTONE  works with concepts of surface, pelt and skin, inside and outside, viscosity, heft, mass, and feel - the elements of a body, always partly but never obviously referential. Livingstone is incredibly sophisticated in her approach, both delicate and confident, to the body and its metaphors.
