Event information
Artist Katie Taylor talks about a deeply personal project that dives into the weird and wonderful relationship we have with our bodies. After losing a significant amount of weight, Katie had surgery in 2022 to remove excess skin – then decided to keep it. Not just keep it, but she turned it into leather, working alongside experimental archaeologist Theresa Emmerich Kamper. Yep, real human leather. The process was intense – ending up with a soft, touchable material from her own body.
It’s a project that gets people talking about the body, identity, and what we’re allowed to do with ourselves.
