3. Selected work
Self and Other
​Self and other syncretises two seemingly disparate aspects of my practice, making and facilitating. My ‘Self’ becomes a wearable, knitted sculpture,  yet also a series of photos of the same, unworn, in my domestic spaces; embodied, yet abject. The ‘Other’ becomes the stranger, the passer-by, who maybe chooses to also become a participant. Between the two, in these strange times, is a very real and rational contamination anxiety, a discomforting threshold between Self and Other.
