Swarthy's "hues" series explores the line between a person’s vulnerable bare self and the self presented publicly. Do the clothes we wear hide our identities or do they create them? By replacing the usual fabric with splashes of paint and projections of light, the familiar line between “exposed” and “styled” is blurred. What defines a person externally, the skin and shape they can’t escape or the artificial colors and patterns they've chosen to embody.
