Abstract

Abstract

Ankyloglossia manifests as multiple systems of categorization. A series of films, 'Systems for: Base, curl, foot, free, out, pile, shake, stack', focus solely on a thigh, calve, an arm and three fingers. These fractions are piled and sorted, at times functioning as distinct and separate characters, and in others emphasized as a whole. They fold into one another to allude to the Exquisite Corpses of the Surrealists, or Donna Haraway's 'Many-Headed Monsters'. A series of text collages are arranged by the order in which the physiological, philosophical and psychological words were removed from the original source, The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus (1956). The texts are arranged in entomological boxes, each word separated by an individual entomology pin. A series of photographs are adorned with digitally printed limbs, and presented alongside Raku-fired limbs in Petri-dishes, a collection of parts arranged on tabletops as evidence of an absurd research.
