Sit on me. I mean it. With this stool, which is molded from a plaster cast of my own body, I wanted to explore the impact of engaging with a body that has no agency. A stool has no choice in how it’s going to be handled. How does it feel to sit? How does it feel to witness? Would you still sit on me if I were there watching?

“Look Mom! I just learned how to knit”

Yarn, buttons, fabric, polyester stuffing

Knits are fluid, they almost seem to breathe. Knits lie limply until bodies give them life. They expand to those that wear them, adapting to each person’s unique landscape. Knits accept the bodies they receive. They embrace.
