WORRY LINES
2024
Worry Lines is a wearable art piece and performance that makes visible the anxiety-producing experience of living within built environments. This tension is explored through the material process of rope coil technique, street performance, and the manifestations of “worry” as an embodied state and a political tactic. Over time, the repetition of certain facial expressions results in worry lines. The wearable piece emphasizes these physical bearings of emotion while its wearing/performance is an activation designed to worry-back.
