Preserving the Body: Art Fund
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Jeff, a senior majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of Kansas. While my career interests focus on the sciences--I have always been interested in art and, particularly, the art of the human body. I am currently interested in doing a collage of body-stamped canvases or white sheets that serve as a message. The art is aimed at exploring the preservation of bodies while much detail isn't available, an homage to the struggle of the "first impression." The art, I hope, will convey a message that there is beauty and sanctity in our bodies merely existing, regardless of the features that define our appearance.
The problem: body stamping requires a lot of paint as the entire body has to be covered in paint. Additionally, white sheets are the best tool given that people are big. These supplies can be expensive, especially since I'd like to showcase around 10 or 15 individuals. Please help me actualize my desire to make this art!
