Project Statement
Gloves represent hands, and hands can symbolize power. This
piece explores the possible permutations of power represented
in gloves. How can each glove represent an identity and what
is its relationship to power? In what context would each glove
be worn? What is the relationship between boxing gloves and power?
What kind of power can wedding gloves represent? How would boxing
gloves and wedding gloves involve the seizing, subverting, giving,
and/or receiving of power? |
