Diaphanous Skins and blurs

skin: The membranous tissue forming the external covering or integument of an animal and consisting in vertebrates of the epidermis and dermis.

epidermis: Anatomy. the outer, nonvascular, nonsensitive layer of the skin, covering the true skin or corium from Latin meaning surface skin and Greek epidermís 'upper skin', Greek dérma meaning skin.


'....one has to understand 'flesh' as an extended meaning of skin and, accordingly, skin not as surface or membrane , but rather like ' a place of minglings', as the English theorist Steve Connor has put it. This implies a sense of three-dimensionality that is manifested through the materiality of skin in which embedded matter, along with a variety of wrinkles, bulges and orifices mark their presence......'
