Wearable Structures, by Tracy Featherstone, 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. The traditional
role of structure or stability becomes mobile when placed on the figure
allowing the individual to indulge in the illusion of stability. The
mobile/wearable element of the work further subverts attempts of control
and order. Similar to the way water will carve a new path around an
obstruction, participant finds new ways to move about daily routines in
ordinary fashion.
