LIFE SIZE objects
The life size vehicles are similar to the site-specific miniature vehicles and take habitat in the gallery space or a site-specific environment. They embody various characteristics that imply injury or aging, with visible signs of damage to their limbs and frames.
The life size cots embrace the visual and experiential effect of familiar objects that embody an uncomfortable reality which is inescapable. Both One day I grew up (a tall cot that towers above the viewer) and Untitled (long cot) (an empty, extended cot) evoke the occupancy of a human body, which is likely to arouse a sense of confusion and discomfort within the viewers. The impact of their scale and condition prompts the viewers to relate their own physicality to that of the absent human body. Here, the strength of the work exists in its ability to connect with viewers’ authentic, individual experience.
