Skin Deep - Jane McCauley
'Skin Deep' forms part of a small sculpture series relating to our connections to our world and the living things within it. This piece seeks to directly challenge our value systems based on beauty and usefulness and move the viewer from an unsettling state of disturbance to warmth and empathy, with the accompanying sense of cellular connection, understanding and insight into vulnerability, which results.
