Calliper Boots (2024) by Jason Wilsher-Mills
Показать описание
Ever wanted to take a dull, grey or offensive part of your life, shape it, remake it and splash it with colour?
Well that’s what artist Jason Wilsher-Mills has done with the orthopaedic calliper boots that he had to wear as a child for medical reasons. Now they’re eye-popping psychedelic Doc Martens, reclaiming with oodles of colour a positive vision of how Jason feels about his disability.
[Alt Text: We’re watching a reel that circles around Jason Wilsher-Mills’ Calliper Boots sculptures. They’re covered all over in vividly coloured designs which are both abstract and intricate. The main part of the boot is coloured with a Union flag design while the heel and toe are covered in blobs, dots and spiky lines in shades of green, yellow, blue and red.
We also see Jason Wilsher-Mills gazing at his sculpture as well as behind the scenes footage of a woman painting the legs, in the factory, before they went on display in the exhibition.]
