GHISLAINE: CARNAL UNKNOWING
This work reckons with the notion of carnal knowledge through portraiture. Carnal knowledge is a euphemism for sexual intercourse and refers to the Biblical fall of man, when Adam and Eve became aware that they were naked and were disgraced. I am interested in meanings and experiences of nudity within clothed society, and in the carnal ambiguity, fluidity, and unruliness that seem to overwhelm any effort to know the body.
