Scratch My Name On Your Arm

Deanna Templeton’s exhibition, Scratch My Name On Your Arm, comes to the Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles, October 30 to December 18. The series focus is on people and their body autographs. The photos are arresting in their bluntness. They remind us that the marking of one’s body, perhaps continues to be the most elemental form of self expression, something inherent, axiomatic… dare I say… primitive.

… I cannot help but to hear the voice of heartbreak… Morrissey singing sweetly, “scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen, this means you really love me.”
