Beginning with an early residency at the Studio Museum Harlem, Woolfalk has devoted her practice to developing her storyworld, No Place, the literal translation of Utopia from the Greek. No Place is inhabited by a hybrid plant-human species she calls the Empathics. As Woolfalk's world evolved, she introduced a corporation ChimaTEK where anyone could experience the process of interspecies hybridization. "Part of the ChimaTEK storyworld is that people can use ChimaTEK’s Life Products to wipe their identities clean, download a virtual avatar, and become an alternative self. The 'user information' that the ChimaTEK Corporation culls from this process produces a whole digital world called the ChimaCloud." The Cloudskin represents one such virtual avatar (https://vimeo.com/164324943?ts=0&share=copy. PW: ChimaTEK)

The Cloudskin series was made during a residency at Lightwork, Syracuse. The artist uses Habotai silk for the top layer, images from drawings and paintings made over the past fifteen years were scanned into the computer, digitally manipulated and printed.
The bottom layer is Dupione silk digitally printed with images taken from the Hubble telescope. The two layers are stitched together by hand.

There were five pieces in the series, four printed on black silk and one on white. Cloudskin 1 to 4 are in the collections of the Everson (1 and 2) and Newark Museums (3 and 4).
