Whisper Tubes Installations
Symbolic of the technological advancements that provoke a faster-paced existence, the wheel is another way to potentially quicken one’s pace. The Shoe-ni-cycle contraption, although, would certainly be challenging to use. It has no pedals, just a boot that hovers over a wheel. Its presence is primarily symbolic for a desire of a quicker or better communication pace.
Vibrant colors, vigorous hand stitching, leather and other fine fabrics combined with plush cushioning, gold piping, and a functioning wheel create this symbolic yet dysfunctional human wearable. Leaning arbitrarily against the wall, away from its wall-mounted resting place, the Shoe-ni-cycle acts as an indication of human presence and desire within the installation.
