I take inspiration from encountered everyday moments that produce strange anomalies which shift or alter the body’s movement or positioning. Meaning is made between unlikely subjects and habits form and repeat. Tensions emerge between objects that alter our movements, and objects that draw, map, or direct movement through space. These objects, indifferent to human recognition, continue on uninterrupted in their being, but nonetheless interrupting.
Using miniatures, duplicates, decoys and mimicry, my work asks the body to reconsider, adjust, or imagine alternative ways of moving or being. How can scale and memory affect the way we move through and understand the world? Is an encountered thing more pliable in the moments of encounter or in the moments that follow? And what can be said for the miniature? What happens to the small thing placed out of its shrunken context?
What then, when the miniature pierces the soft skin in the arch of your foot?
