Some fully formed, others in a state of becoming, hands and feet and their supports. Cast and recast, copied and recopied, rubber gloves, ur-feet, the feet of apes. Fragments that represent a whole, these outermost extremities can stand in for humans. The hands and feet of ancient ancestors, present selves, future monuments.
The supports extend us. Stands on stands. Feet on tables, feet on shelves, glued up prints. A support can be ideological, structural, architectural. Technology can be a support. A support can be a big idea meant to save the world. It can be a matrix used to display objects in an exhibition. And sometimes the supports are simple extensions—clothes on skin, or shoes on feet.
Becoming what supports us, what constructs us. Becoming the prosthetic that extends us.
