Failure2020
Wood blocks, string, screws, and casted silicon 60” x 44” x 3” (Installation) This visualizes multiple replication hammers made out of pink silicone with its flexibility. These are to communicate my interpretations of failure; people sometimes try new experiences knowing that they will fail but do it anyway for the sole purpose of gaining knowledge. I let people touch the hammers and ask them to hit the screws to that the hammer is attached. The hammer is essentially functionless. A silicon hammer cannot nail in screws, and asking the viewers to interact with the art in such a way exemplifies the feelings of failure I’ve attached to the piece. It fundamentally has two contradictory emotions, the unfunctionally of context on failure and the functionality as enjoyable objects. |
