  • THE MILLS

In our increasingly sedentary reality, we must find moments for active lifestyle throughout our daily routines. For children, moments of play are commonly sought after reality. While we as adults often save these for intense moments for the gym or sports fields. This investigation seeks to integrate bursts of activity in everyday life.

The installation generates a form to activate numerous muscles throughout the body. It does this by creating a ‘crawl space’ for folks to climb, wiggle, and generally find their way through. The colourful straps frame a series of sequentially layered spaces open for interpretation. It encourages not just strength and fitness, but also the embrace of the unknown and the tactile.

The experience is akin to that of a worm crawling and shifting through an interpretable colourful web. Challenging the participant not only to enter but to find their way.
