Multi-disciplinary artist Yuko Edwards opened her new project and exhibition that explores skin, scars, and healing. On Skin was open to visitors at St Anne’s House and the project welcomed the public to view and contribute to a body of work.

During the time Yuko spent working in the space she explored the function of skin as a metaphor for human resilience and the endurance of surviving the modern world. Visitors are key to the developing work. There was a textile piece to which visitors contributed. On Skin also included photography, sound, and video.
