Tutu: All the hours in-between
The ballerina's tutu is worn while performing, where here, a product of process, the completed piece is a document of the work performed during the making. The ballerina's vigorous training is in a sense performance that is never seen, as is the construction of the work, as well as the notion that 'practice makes perfect' but when the feminine body is concerned, this perfection is never achieved. 'All the hours in-between' refers to the life lived while not involved in the construction or training, rather than focussing on all of the hours required to produce this installation.
The linear work is displayed suspended from the ceiling, in a liminal space, hinting to the liminality where by products of our body, separate from ourselves, exist.
