I became obsessed with this idea of blurring the perimeter of the body, so you couldn't see where the skin ended and the near environment started.

McRae describes an artistic/design preoccupation with dissolving the boundary between the human body and its surroundings. The “perimeter of the body” and the point “where the skin ended” evoke skin as both a physical border and a conceptual one—identity, privacy, and autonomy. By imagining that border as blurred, the quote points to a posthuman or speculative-design sensibility in which bodies are not fixed containers but porous interfaces shaped by technology, materials, and environment. The obsession suggests an iterative practice: testing how perception can be manipulated so that the body reads as continuous with space, raising questions about embodiment, vulnerability, and how future aesthetics might reframe what counts as ‘self’ versus ‘world.’
