Kendell Geers’ tactile approach is seen in the surface texture of this sculpture. Shaping the figure with the palms of his hands, the artist’s skin becomes imprinted onto the skin of the figure. The polished lips are the artist’s lips, moulded by pushing them into plaster of Paris.
The only part of this sculpture not physically shaped by Geers are the eyes, which are made of broken bottle tops.
