Over the past few years Tracy has been exploring the daily struggle we all face between control and chaos. She says “The balance is precarious and can tip one way or another in an instant.” Using traditional building materials to create micro-environmental structures that attach to our bodies is a way to try and control, or “impose order on a situation that is moving out of control.”
Wearable Structures by Tracy Featherstone is a series of artistic wooden sculptures that interact with the body. They seem to be built around oneself, like giant geometric fungi.
