Hoodie Hooks
People often ask me about my "hoodie hooks" and why anyone would use them as actual hooks. For me, crossing the boundary between function and sculpture is a way to play with how we see ourselves. Think of them like costume pieces you can change based on your mood. When you hang a worn hoodie, sweater, or hat on one of these sculptures, something extra happens. The work comes to life and becomes a part of you. It's not just a static thing anymore; it's an extension of whoever interacts with it. By putting your own clothes on the hooks, you're adding your personal touch to the piece. These hooks invite people to get involved and maybe think a bit differently about everyday objects and how they relate to our sense of self.
