“Nude” is also the name of a color — that of the pinkish “flesh” crayon, or a shade of women’s hosiery. The artist and writer damali ayo decided to create a series of paintings based on a different tone of nude — her own, un-pink skin. So she visited a series of paint stores, took along her low-fi tape recorder and asked for help from the guys behind the counters. Produced by Dmae Roberts.
