Scale: Size 10 shoe IT MOVES! The shoe is stitched together with multiple pieces of latex rubber cast out of moulds made from my own skin. The shoe's toe and heel raise and lower as it occasionally vibrates/pulsates, and twitches on the floor as if it were still alive. The movement is not constant, and usually causes people to jump back while they are in the middle of leaning in for a closer look. Artist statement It's a Nike shoe stapled together with human flesh, twitching... Other than simply being twisted, this piece comments on issues of sweatshop labour and content ownership. Each piece of skin is therefore different in colour, size, and texture and the Nike Logo is done in white, slapped overtop of all the other colours. We live in a culture disconnected from what it is doing to itself and others, we choose to ignore rather than deal with the reality we have created for ourselves. This piece ultimately comments on this simple idea. There's a video of it moving on my website for anyone interested. [link] (click the shoe.. and click the video button) The Shoe has been shown in a few galleries now... any critique welcome, I'm considering making more..... as in, a whole store type display of them for isntallation into a gallery space.

Hmm... Do you have any advise for getting started with working with latex? Me and a friend who, like me, is graduating school are planning on spending some of next year making a amateur horror film, so I've started messing around with the stuff to see what kinds of effects we can get with it, but it's a bit tricky so any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.
