Life Pressings x Tattoo Artist Mark Nara
Recording life legacy on skin
A Life Pressing tattoo representing the life story of this beautiful man's late wife.
I worked with Ket and Caroline as a part of the Reflected Legacy project in 2016.
They shared stories of courage, freedom, joy, love, strength. I captured them in this artwork. Every line and form represents the meaning of those stories.
When Caroline passed away, Ket asked me if he could have the artwork tattooed onto his body. He worked with tattoo artist Mark Nara and this image was taken at the final tattooing session recently.
Life is sacred. Our stories matter. Our connections are imperative to our existence.
This is the largest tattoo anyone has had recreated from my work so far. And what meaning it has. I am honoured to create for people in this way.
My role on this project encompassed:
- Therapeutic Practitioner
- Visual Artist
