Body Print Works
2017–

The Body Print works are chemically etched, copper-coated PCB boards mounted on 50mm brass stand-offs. The boards are alternately imprinted with prescription medication receipts, corresponding to the medications the artist was taking at the time of production, and the impressions of various parts of the artist’s body. PCB boards are used by amateur computer enthusiasts to make their own electronic circuit boards, and contain a conductive layer (in this instance, copper) over a non-conductive substrate (in this instance, fiberglass).
