- The body of work from the series Antiquated uses characteristics inspired from antiques, farming equipment, and the human form. I have been interested with antiques from an early age and have been surrounded by them in my day to day life. I enjoy interacting with an item that has been used to create something else and knowing that hard work and labor went in to its use. I find the human body relates in the same way. I primarily use hands and feet to demonstrate the man power associated with the equipment and these body parts are essential in farming practices. Replacing tool parts with parts of the human form not only functions as a metaphor for hard work and what it yields, but also adds an interesting spin on the tools themselves.
