During this test, I was impressed with how badly my neck hurt. The most uncomfortable position was the first one pictured below.
I did another experiment where I tried to dictate the movement of my limbs a little more by sewing in gloves and stockings. The idea that I had was that having a “cultural body” has an environmental element as well. I also liked the idea that it was something that we voluntarily step into, whether it is comfortable or not.
I think I’m going to sew it together into a sack shape again. I thought that produced some more interesting shapes. Or I am interested in having friends hold it and drape it around me as I step into it. Then it would illustrate how others might dictate what we do.
The final thing that I’m interested in doing is making something that bends my neck over to show that uncomfortable position.
