Here, the pieces act as pedestals for the human form, highlighting the extreme curve of the foot and flexion of the calf muscle.
Exploring the limiting nature of modern high heels, which are fascinating explorations of subtly within fashion design, this piece takes the lack of functionality to the extreme: the wearer is not able to stand.
Lacking elements that attach the foot to the object, the foot must force itself into the curve without the benefit of the weight of the body or confining straps while the wearer sits on a stool.
There is an element of choice and desire in this piece, as there is in all fashion choices, yet it is the only one of my pieces that is actually uncomfortable to wear.
