Artist/Sculptor, Levi Van Veluw has what many would call a strange canvas, himself. He covers himself in the surfaces he wants to dissapear into. The surface might be wood, tile, ballpoint pen, or grass and shrubs. He might have a railroad car go around his head. Either way you look at it, Van Veluw’s work deals with our shifting identities we carry as people, as well as touching on themes of the different roles we play, as well as exploring how art can make us dissappear.

How does Van Veluw use texture in his artwork? Why do you think he does this? What is Veluw trying to say about the world by doing this? How tired does his face feel after a long day of doing this? What does this sort of activity say about taking an idea as far as it can go? Is Veluw a madman, a genius, or both? Does it matter when the results are this breathtaking?
