Kennedy Yanko (b. 1988) is an American sculptor, painter, and installation artist known for working with “paint skins” and found metal or discarded objects.

“To create “paint skins,” Yanko pours large amounts of paint and lets it dry into a tarp-like material. From there, she sculpts the paint skin, using her whole body to manipulate the heavy sheet of paint. The paint skin thus becomes a structural material not dissimilar from the metal she utilizes in her sculptures. At times, the two materials are indistinguishable.” (from Wikipedia).
