MANVAS: A ritual of transformation

From landSPACE:

“The work in Mitch Pengra’s first-ever, solo exhibition includes photographs, collages, and artifacts capturing the experience of fully coating his body with paint. Pengra has enjoyed this ritual of transformation ever since he was a kid, seeing and feeling different selves; at once obscured and illuminated. He has produced more than 10,000 images over the past 4 decades, documenting a lifelong practice that is purely for him and the experience of doing it. “It’s about loving myself,” he says, “embracing my body, and enjoying a heightened self-awareness.””
