Trust Your Gut

This piece made by pushing silicone through knitted structures that I knit on a knitting machine. Inside three of the forms are videos with different parts of the body that exhibit breathing. This piece came out of exploring how trauma is recorded in the body both on a physical level and through embedded memories that are revealed in our actions and behavior. In this particular piece I explore how this phenomenon makes it impossible to control the way our bodies are perceived and thus treated.

6 x 6 x 4 
Materials: yarn, silicone, fishing line, iPhones, video
