Autopsy of the Boilersuit

I found myself laying a boilersuit on the table; I started to film it, to act with it by
measuring and comparing, eventually seeing it act in return. Thinking over my
personal and social relationships with this image, I decided to embrace the doubt
and contradiction it proposes to me.

There is no conclusion; I remain far too inept to say much about this boilersuit.
Instead, I’ve decided to delegate that job to the studio, a bug viewer and some
playing blocks.


Previously exhibiting at the Camberwell College of Arts 2022 Degree Show

“The bug viewer is like a handheld vacuum chamber you can take with you wherever
you go. Drop something in it. Immediately it will beg the question - how big does it get?
You look, and it's all distorted, but the grid gives you a sense of comfort and
pretends to help you situate yourself in the mess.”
