This installation features industrial materials that hold, including packaging, insulation, and upholstery, to address ideas of the body in space, the space of the body, and the space between bodies. The original integrity of the materials is preserved to maintain their known associations; they are reframed in form, arrangement, and scale. The group embraces repetition and difference to focus on the materials’ inherent content manipulated in ways that refer to the body.
