Co-inhabit is an idea for a new experimental body sculpture which will attach to my hips.
Thoughts on the new body attachment.
There is something that happens in the act of making or in fact in any physical exertion where you hit wall with intense feelings of awareness. A reawakening if you will. All of a sudden you are aware of the movement and flow of the flesh, your spine, your bones. It almost activates an emotional state that envelopes, everything else falls away until there is just you and your gestures. The object that is produced does not always reflect your exertion , your blood, your sweat. I want my gestures to produce gestures, I want my movement to make marks simple in form but indicate a happening. The emotional state of mind is found in the full entirety of a human being, the environment and the extended, My exoskeleton, it gestures as I do in a limited capability that I also inhabit, the lines become blurred between me and the exoskeleton in translation of the communicative body extended self and the environment. I am co-inhabiting.
