Various/Ted Meyer

The following are quotations cited in an exhibition essay about the work of Ted Meyer. He does imprints of people's scars and collects their narratives, too. Thought-provoking work, it can be seen at http://www.tedmeyer.com/ .

“Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to
reveal. A scar is what happens when the world is made flesh.”
Leonard Cohen

“Scar tissue is stronger than regular
tissue. Realize the strength, move on.”
Henry Rollins

“We are spinning our own fates, good
or evil, and never to be undone.
Every smallest stroke of virtue or of
vice leaves its never-so-little scar.”
William James
