Light as a Feather(stone.)

In by Quiet LunchLeave a Comment

Human beings lack structure, and in some case, art can be all the structure any man or woman needs. Take Tracy Featherstone‘s Wearable Sculptures for example. Bringing light to a volatile mix of “control and chaos,” it is an accurate critique of the human condition.

“Wearable Structures materialize our daily struggle between control and chaos. The balance is precarious and can tip one way or another in an instant.  Building materials traditionally used to construct living environments or other architectural securities are used in a frenetic fashion.  Quickly, and maybe hopelessly trying to impose order on a situation that is moving out of control.”
