Focus
I’m interested in accessories and shoes. You can see
accessories as something added to the body yet apart from it, but I like to
conceive them as an extension of the body, forming together with the body a
third, new and hybrid entity. My research was on ways to extend my body with all
kinds of objects and devices to find such new hybrid forms and on ways to
transfer bodily characteristics on objects and materials. The results were
starting points for shoe designs that try to break away from accepted standards
defining beauty and the abhorrent.
