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.
