I feel a little like the moon who took possession of you for a moment and then returned your soul to you. You should not love me. One ought not to love the moon. If you come too near me, I will hurt you.

Working from life, photographs and studio sketches, Chuhan creates an array of representations of diverse human bodies distinguished by the intense use of colour and the frequently twisted and contorted positioning of torsos, limbs, organs, raw flesh, and facial features. These are visceral, provocative disfigurings and disembowlings. For me, what is most remarkable about her work though is the inclusion of time, a particular chronology. These are human bodies that are not posed as such, but rather which appear to be moving into position, about to adopt a pose, caught in a not-yet-quite-ready, frozen in a pre-gestural fraction of a second. These bold but blurred bodies are interrupted, the arc of movement incomplete. In a current series still itself in the making, she presents a set of individual bodies seemingly suspended upside down as if waiting to be born, as if not yet emerged from the womb; or, perhaps, hanging in the air like meat on a hook. I suggest that this chronological imbrication of the work, this glimpsing and capturing of something still enfolding or unfolding itself, of the not-yet, suggests a ‘before’ and ‘after’ and thereby lends her work a narrative structure and character. Betwixt and between, these are bodies with and within stories.
