Skinned is an experiment in borrowing confidence, beauty, and protection from other living beings in our world. By applying another being’s skin, fur, or quills to a wound, cut, or blemish- one morphs into the donor creature. Porcupine, fish, wolf, rabbit, and crocodile skins were produced to create a dialogue between the bandaid, the user, and the world surrounding them
