PAGAN FLESHWORKS
The Alchemy of Body Modification
Maureen Mercury

A groundbreaking work that sees the contemporary cultural trends of tattooing piercing implanting and branding as a quest for a transformative psychic experience. Acts of body modification are deeply rooted in physical impulses that are obscured in our technological society. As we become more removed from the physicality of our existence we lose touch with an essential part of our humanity. Body modification is a way of reconnecting to our bodies to the earth and to the divine. PAGAN FLESHWORKS reveals that the prevalence of body modification--tattooing piercings brandings and implants--is the postmodern way to heal the body and enliven the soul. These fleshworks are the result of people creating their own rituals and symbols of meaning in order to feel a sense of the divine within. Maureen Mercury relates the various stages of obtaining fleshworks to the stages of alchemy showing how fleshworks lead to psychic transformation--soul-making. Using mythological imagery and the stories of those who have chosen to modify their bodies she identifies the signposts of our journey toward self-expression exploring the connection between our desires and our outward life. More than 30 riveting colour photographs by leading body modification artist Steve Haworth provide the perfect visual complement to this examination of the soul as it rises toward freedom.
