Over summer, I took part in a 3 week residency based in a construction site in Canary Wharf.  It was a great experience in terms of creating art in an unusual site and having the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas with more experienced artists with a variety of practices.

These images come from a workshop we did during the residency in which we explored the use of line as a 3D drawing tool.  I decided to incorporate my body into my outcomes.

Distorted Bodies

Distorted Bodies - Wide, Chaz Howkins, 2016, photo manipulation

Distorted Bodies - Line, Chaz Howkins, 2016, photo manipulation

Distorted Bodies - Float, Chaz Howkins, 2016, photo manipulation

I used a photocopier to distort these images of myself dressed as Chad.  The intention was to create confusing imagery which distracts the viewer from immediately questioning the gender of the subject.
