The Skin We Wear is a duo exhibition of work by fine art students from the University of Leeds, exploring the physicality of bodies around us.

The body of work on display explores a variety of themes from an exploration into the qualities of skin confronting the changes in our bodies through the process of adolescence that tightens and manipulates the skin we wear.

Other work in this show reimagines representations of the female body challenging controls of the ‘Gaze’ and how female figures are seen through the grotesque.
