Description:
In the belly of a machine (ship), a man and woman appear to have grown out of the mechanism, operating its parts in repetition and maneuvering through unwelcoming spaces.
The piece utilizes both site and movement to explore dualities: human and machine, skin and metal, task and pleasure, water and steel.
We transpose site onto a blank space, inviting an audience to relocate to this re-imagined world.
