Human Canvas

Artistic project:
Participants are required who are willing to donate their body to art. Different parts of different people will be painted in the colours the volunteer believes represents them best. They are also asked to choose a word they feel best describes their lives; they will be given a masquerade mask which they are to wear in the photographs. Everyone will be wearing the same mask to represent the idea that whilst we are all very different, we're still all in this together.
Participants can choose how much or how little they want exposed depending on their level of comfort and amount of free time. My aim is to paint 100 individuals and once I've got to that number I am going to make this project into a coffee table book.

Once I have worked out the hours I am available to work on the project, people can book the day and time they will be painted. Any size, shape, and age welcomed.
