Doll Born Daytime (M) Hatchback 2019 and Baninni Fitted Bikinicare (M) Hatchback 2019 are the two most recent objects, from a larger group of objects, a collection of 12 objects develop since summer 2018. In union with a subject these objects usually reflecting onto identity and gender, I draw from the queerness of material and form, all in attempt to make a believable network of elements that defy categorisation. The objects are organised in such a way that the “user” cannot fully comprehend their usage nor their correlation to the “users” physical body but are instead in a continuous state of trying to establish meaning through utilitarian aesthetics. With symmetry of body and the anatomy of products for these bodies, they are interbred assemblages of high and low tech, of synthetics and nature, decor and utility. Existing objects and abstracted materials such as pearls, latex, wax, faux fur,
plastic, braided sheep wool, sports armour, and body modifiers are used, creating a mixture of natural and synthetic materials. (They are synthetics camouflaged as natural and vice versa). By combining existing objects and materials into a compressed mass I try to create a bundle of high artificial energy, a compressed (re-)organisation of visual language stock. The outcome is a sculptural, “well-designed” object that is both alluring and alarming. An object that defies clear categorisation without entering full abstraction. Paradoxically: they are singular, yet queer in the sense that the objects reject unification or universal concepts. In a continuous state of trying to classify themselves. I hope to pervert familiar forms, play with taboos, transgress the codes of good taste and the stereotypical, to put aside the traditional distinction between the functional and the aesthetic... I wish to unpack the complexity of human relationship to objects, and the space in between.
