The Wanting It to Get Into You
2021

The material anchor of this work consists of two copies of five examples of park benches (reduced to ¾ scale, tilted and otherwise altered) that Zaal Khidasheli (ზაალ ხიდაშელი) has produced at his foundry in Kutaisi for public and/or private use. I’m using the bench as a theatrical device to tether reflections on metaphysical states like longing or loneliness or romance together with corporeal, skeletal and adjacent material culture concerns.
