Eliza Bennett Embroiders Her Own Hand

British artist Eliza Bennett has literally sews lines into her hand as a canvas for her work. Considering the flesh as a base material, Bennett carefully stitches patterns and lines into the epidermis of her body using colored thread.

The end result is a palm that looks stitched and gauzed up, bloodied and battered. Basically, the hand looks tired and completely overworked.
According to Bennett, her palm art was done to bring awareness to low paying physically grueling jobs like cleaning and catering which are usually carried out by females.
