MEASURED explores the measurements imposed and created by mundane objects and their influence on individuals. These fill the social and identity voids created by perceptions. The images are 1:1 scale drawings of “tools” that measure an individual through the prism of social norms and expectations. From a wedding ring, to a vibrator, to a house, individuals relate and equate their stature and station based on what or how they use these items. Each of the images have been hand drawn, translated into a CAD algorithm, an then reproduced with an india ink pen and a mechanical arm. The work is a mechanical and methodical representation of this process.
