Don’t Leave Me This Way Susan Jowsey and Marcus Williams

A collaborative artwork developed by Susan Jowsey and Marcus Williams, Flesh examines the interwoven relationships between language, imagery and the body, with specific reference to the effect of digital media on these relationships (digital media is also used in the generation of work). Images are recognised through language. They operate as part of a complex and culturally charged code that must function along side a bodily, prelingual consciousness, making the digital arena an exciting medium with which to explore such a junction. Its short history, its mechanical and mathematically coded foundation and its relative socio-political neutrality are interesting in terms of a certain aloofness of the form.
