Manipulation 

2016 

Wooden chair and parts, carvings of lines from Robert Frost poems and other poets, wheels, rope, twine, sheet metal, wooden platform, spotlight, 40 in. NEC monitor and mount, plywood mount with drywall screws and bolts, needed wires, media player, mp4 video (8:51) 

The act of being pulled in many different directions can take form in both emotional, physical and mental ways. Sometimes an individual feels taken advantage of, powerless and caught in a web of manipulation. However, sometimes the struggle to move or manipulate something or someone occurs between a pair of individuals. What does this process look like in the end? Does it ever result in success? Or is the manipulated person/thing going to be eternally held in suspense?
