About the Artwork
The silicone gauntlet emerges from an investigation into movement, labour, and bodily discipline, using chronophotography as a methodological and visual framework. Drawing connections between weaving, fitness routines, and digital self-performance, the work traces how repetitive gestures are shaped and regulated by systems of productivity and control.
Parallels between silicon chip etching and historical forms of armour production inform the gauntlet as both artefact and interface: an object that encodes movement data into material form not unlike an artefact. Through processes of silicone casting, sewing, and pattern-cutting, the work translates ephemeral motion into a densely constructed bodily extension.
