BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Victorian-style Filigree Collaboration Cutting

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Wayde Dunn (waydedunn.com), one of the most talented scarification artists out there, is visiting the US right now and is guest spotting with Ron Garza (rongarza.com) in Los Angeles until the end of the month (as in the end of April 2007), with whom he did this collaboration cutting, a pair of Victorian style filigree cuttings are on iam:xoTeresaxo — she’s standing in front of a mirror so you can see both the left and right side. This is the third large piece he’s done in LA so far (if you’re interested in work by either him or Ron, or both, you can contact them on IAM or via their websites).

It’s really quite thrilling to see how evolved scarification is becoming as an artform. Remember to set your calendars — Scar Wars III is being held in October 2007.
