Lanna Woman (Wat Umong)
Laura Spector
Body Art
Description of the artwork
The painting on the body is actually a recreation of a historical artwork.
​
A Lanna woman, also known as a Wat Umong, which is a name being originated from Thailand (where Spector stayed for 10 years), is painted on the human body.
​
The woman being painted on, if seen carefully, is covering her face while bending one of her legs.
This is another use of illusions of human body painting.
