Damaris Athene

Safehouse 1, London, UK

2016

Epidermal Dress was an exhibition of work by four emerging artists - Damaris Athene, Ines Garrido, Anna Hussey, and Jennifer N. R. Smith - who deal with the corporeal in their practice. Theodore Rotheke's 1941 poem 'Epidermal Macabre' became the sticking point in the artists' research prior to the show. It highlights the internal tensions faced when considering the materiality of flesh and experiencing the frustrating desire to transcend the limitations of the body. Safehouse 1 is a derelict victorian terrace house turned art space by Maverick Projects. In this exhibition, it acts as an environmental mirror for the work, which in turn reflects the structure as a decaying and mortal body.
