An Object For Consideration 5'x 4'x 8.5' Performance Wood, Muslin, Nails, Worn Objects, Chair

This piece is a continuation of my examination of process and identity. It started with the smaller piece at the top. Originally a three dimensional sketch, the small piece occupied a large space in my mind. One major question stuck out during the process. What is sculpture? A definition I came across described sculpture as "not painting, not performance and not spoken word but an object to be considered". In turn, what is the object to be considered in this piece? Is it the stagnant smaller object placed above or is it my body in action? Is it the clothing? Is it the still photo or the video that was taken? The definition mentioned has work arounds and loop holes in it.
