Yoko Ono’s Wish Trees

“As a child in Japan, I used to go to a temple and write out a wish on a piece of thin
paper and tie it around the branch of a tree. Trees in temple courtyards were always
filled with people’s wish knots, which looked like white flowers blossoming from afar.”
Yoko Ono: “All My Works Are A Form Of Wishing”.

Tatoos as Art:

Watch Tattoos,

Leo Zhuoran 2019

As a child, my friends and I used to draw watches on each other’s wrist for fun. Back in the days, a ball point pen is not easy to find for us since everyone uses pencil and only adult and older children can use a pen. To share a ball point pen that was hard to find and draw different watches on each others wrist was a simple mark of friendship. To recreate this childhood memory, I asked my classmates to draw each other a wrist watch with their own design and photographed it then translated it into a printable design. I then printed these “watches” on temporary tattoo paper and shared it with the class.

Skin Swatch,

Maddy Lychek 2019Download

Skin Swatch

This temporary tattoo is pulled directly from the artist’s arm and calls into question the practice of comparing one’s skin colour to others.

Freckled

These temporary tattoos form matching freckle patterns meant to be worn in the same spot by two people. They create a connection between two bodies through adornment that looks like it could be real.

Embrace

Embrace is a tattoo which only becomes complete with an action. This action is a warm embrace and creates a perfect circle. When the tattoo is not in action it is an incomplete line that starts in the middle of the forearm and ends at the tip of the index finger. It’s functional for both people, open up your circle and get hugged. In this circle is a safe space.
