Portfolio > Tool Series

In The Tool Series, I explore definitions of skill and the ways it can manifest through interpretations of a tool, namely, a hammer. Using the simple vocabulary of a hammer- steel head and wooden handle- I approach various ways of exploring skill and its place in our society. Such as the social activity of skill as it is passed from one individual to another, and subsequently to the relationship between parent and child, master and apprentice, and so on. While in more subverted ways, I’m confronting the duality of ability and disability as it contributes to the broader concept of skill and it’s acquisition.
