Melancholy of the self (#1 - )
2022 - present
Silicone, custom dye, steel, copper.
43in x 11in x 3/4in (110cm x 28cm x 2cm)
An ongoing project that looks at the entanglement of human and artificial forms, and gestures embedded in loss and melancholy. The materials of steel and silicone, play off schemas of artificial bodies that engage with processes of replication, simulation, substitution, and mimesis. Together they expose anxieties inherent in the contemporary apparatus—a space where the legacies of industrialization, concepts of the human body, and fragmented intimacies are compressed into singular objects - a kind of flattening that takes place in the translation between the human and the machine.
