Body is the Mark

The inspiration for my Body is the Mark Project was Valie Export an artist that posed her body  around objects like buildings and curbs.  I chose to copy the concept and posed my body as the mark  (in most cases an arrow) and in various traffic signs.
 


I drew and painted an arrow on cardboard.
 


I cut the arrow out of the cardboard and the sign was complete.



Posed at the railroad signal.
 



Posed at a cautionary sign.
 



Posed at the end of the road blockade.
 



Posed at the Dead End.
 



Blended with the one-way sign.
 



Posed as a pedestrian at a cross-walk.
 

 
 
 
 
The last pose is as a detour arrow.
