Judith Larsenʼs work incorporates the figure as an empty vessel which is then infused with a series of images from the History of Art and Science. The projected transparencies reference deep-time cultural markers, including language, mapping diagrams and pattern-making over a 20,000 year span. The final symbolically clad figures are a testament to the enduring vitality of the flesh and its fragile impermanence.
