Theme: The human body is not just the vessel in which our consciousness resides, but also a canvas and a sculpting medium that is used to inspire, provoke, and sometimes offend. The Human Canvas seeks to explore the many ways in which the body can be an integral component of art. It can be as simple and elegant as the unadorned figure, or any of the almost limitless uses of the body as a canvas on which art is presented, or incorporated, from creations in fabric and textiles, body modifications,  pigments, and much more.
