Agathakakological Study is a series documenting the artists' first year of recovery after being struck by a motor vehicle, drawing upon historic Western photographic and sculptural traditions. Abstracting traditional body presentations in a confrontational manner leads to a surrealist examination in the duality of good and evil.
The process is an attempt to reconcile and embrace the resulting permanent disabilities, loss of identity and limitations of the flesh, while celebrating the body as a conduit for connection. It is the act of abstracting the human form that is the core of this documented performance work, capturing the body as a distortion of expectation; the contortions increasing as the artists' recovery progressed.
By absorbing, subverting and queering canonical Western sculptural poses the artist's body becomes a site for performance and intervention. A living sculpture, irreverently captured, pushed beyond its limitations.
