The “Fetish Object” series is a collection of soft bondage pieces. “Fetish Object No. 1: Foot and Mouth Piece” is two felted pieces connected by a tube. One piece covers the artist’s head (including eyes, mouth and ears), and a second piece covers the front half of the artist’s right foot. Each piece fits the artist’s body exactly. The object was worn and performed by the artist at a gallery opening. The performance confuses the power dynamics between artist, art object, and viewer. The artist is simultaneously object and subject. She violates the audience with nudity and violent sexual imagery, while the audience violates her through their observation of her vulnerability. |
