Revenant means one that returns after death or long absence. In this latest series of figurative works, Lynn Schirmer focuses on the process of reconnecting with and re-inhabiting her limbs after long dissociation.
Schirmer says:
“The way we move our bodies, our limbs, is loaded with subtle communication. You can see the product of love in the movement of a hand; you can detect it by a lack of hesitation, unselfconscious spontaneity, and the degree of celebrated idiosyncrasy. Likewise, subtly hesitant or restricted movement can denote weakness, fear, or insecure beginnings.”
This was not quite finished when I shot it last, there are more faces and toes now.
