i’m so obsessed with these.

This might be the title for every single blog post I ever write, but I am so obsessed with these massive beanbag larvae bundles whatever they are soft sculpture forms. It all started when I was cleaning up my studio to try to make space for spandex beanbags after the nyc show. I started by tying up the massive beanbags I got for free for the Extra Day project [link] as a way of making them more compact. When I tied up the first one and put it in the hallway as possible storage solution, I realized - no wait - this is the thing. I wonder what it is about the hallway that opens the space for possibility. Is it a type of heterotopic space? Rules and time suspended? I’m not sure if liminal in between spaces count. I should double check.

So I continued with that as a way to bring the silvery bags home - and actually fit it in the car.

Unloading at the studio. I love these sectionals, divisions.

This is how I schlepped the piece from my car. A bedsheet wrapped around the form. I love this shape.

I love the scale of these in my studio. How they take over.

Soft sculpture as performance prop

I’m also obsessed with how the human form interacts with these entities and feel like it could become a basis for a dance piece. Art object, performance prop and utilitarian piece for people to sit on.
