Additional Details:
Composed of concrete, rebar, and collected materials, this body of work exposes tensions between labor, leisure, and access. Alongside precise design, the mold-making and casting processes allow for possibilities for spontaneity to displace inherent constructive labor. Rather than constructing stable systems of support in space as architecturally functional, they destabilize them, creating inconvenience and risk, and positioning disability as an active, generative force within space. Engaging a bodily "lean," these works embody a queer, disabled critique of familiar signs of the built environment rooted in the symbolic genesis of the disability activist movement– the curbs smashed by wheelchair users in Berkeley, CA in the 1970s and the Capitol Crawl in Washington DC in the 1990s.
