Feel Me in the Library
Feel me in the Library, Vogt Gallery in the Canisius College Library, 2019
Feel Me in the Library is a site-specific installation of my interactive sculpture Compression Therapy, made for the glass cube gallery inside of the Canisius College library. This work came after my work Feel Me, a project about the commodification of feeling looking at ways of decolonizing it. Feel Me in the Library emerged from an investigation into early memories of feeling comfort, safety and satisfaction. Memories of the the desire to have weight on my body as a child — the pleasurable feelings of having my blood pressure taken, the led X-ray vest at the dentist office, buried in sand, under couch cushions, or the bodies of my siblings, inspired this work.
