“Nude” isn’t just the state of nakedness, it’s the name of a color — you’ve seen it on the side of the pinkish “flesh” crayon and on packages 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 tape recorder, and asked for help from the staff behind the counters. Produced by Dmae Roberts. Funding provided by Hearing Voices through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
