Encumbrance
This performance was a contemplation on the relationship between one’s body and clothing, in particular, some of the forces that surround the production, circulation, consumption, and ownership of garments. I am also considering the ways our bodies are identified with clothing and how this helps construct our identities, shapes desires and tastes.
