David Shillinglaw’s ‘Bodyscan’ artworks are a lengthy process that is deeply personal for David. The bodies are made by using various collaging techniques, you may see a fleck of paint or droplets of water on the paper, but this is all intentionally done to represent scars and the fragility of a human being. The writing around the body is what David describes as the body’s personality, this can be inspired by poems, his shopping list, his memories, the music playing on the radio and anything else that is around or within him at that time. The title of the artwork came from David's printer who would scan the bodies for photos. This title stuck with David as it’s also the title of one of his meditation practices.
