Player (Second Act)

2005
Davis, Kate
Kate Davis's early work examines the relationship between the body and everyday objects, such as bicycles, telephones, ladders and microphones. The objects often manipulated, cast or built from dysfunctional and simplistic materials are employed as extensions of her drawings and photographs, either displayed adjacent or attached to the works themselves. The artist deliberately restricts their utility rendering them obsolete. They exist as furtive reminders of the absent physical body and its functions.
