Press:
Glass cylinders
with images of different women’s feet (156) and
men's feet The first piece in this series, Press, focuses on people’s shoes and their brisk gestures. 312 images rotate inside two glass cylinders depicting different men and women walking along city streets. The rotation of walking feet captures the moment as people pass each other when they are caught up by the speed of the city and have missed the opportunity to interact. The viewer’s attention is forever split by the two rotating cylinders and is caught in the space between this fleeting blur of images. This skewered gravity represents the pressurized reality of the public realm that Constant Motion explores and highlights: our constant drive towards connections that are left unfulfilled.
Rendering of Disposition of Consumption: Disposition of Consumption documents humanity's lack of mutual recognition in its haste for success. In this work, I use workaday attire to represent an individual’s power strength and acuity. Hundreds of photographic details capture shoes, ring fingers and hands holding briefcases or handbags; I then layer these images on top of magazine
tears of advertisements. Creating a dialectic between public presentation & advertising.
Drawing of Weight of the Day: Weight of the Day documentsthe taxation of contemporary life showing images of soldiers at war, the homeless and elderly. The burdens of society who individuals want to ignore, as they freely spend on feel-good products. This sculpture is suspended from the ceiling & consists of 28 cylinders (1 months time) twice that is represented in Disposition of Consumption, however it is slouched over symbolizing the body.
