 steel, liquid latex, aluminium chains, dye, staples, meat hooks, carabiners, d-shackles, glue, LED lights, light bulb.

Examining the effect of tension on the body through sculptural installation. How far can one's skin be pierced, prodded and stretched until something begins to leak?  Through a variety of pressures, these abject bodily beings are stretched to just before ripping, bursting or spilling points by the metal frames that contain them. Like dissections in a laboratory, their prenominal purpose seems to be for inspection, but these specimens seem moments away from crawling out of their trays and spilling onto the floor. Stretched but resilient, these forms represent the grotesque beauty of the functioning human body and all the spillages that come along with it.
