Grazing the Feed reflects on contemporary society's relationship with technology addiction, media saturation, and the commodification of individuality. It holds a preverbal mirror to an increasingly familiar scene: the hunched figure, lost in the glow of a phone.
The work comprises a growing crowd of action figure-sized sculptures, each modelled from observational drawings made while people-watching in London. These figures echo scenes from daily life—commuters absorbed by their screens, physically together yet mentally isolated.
While the figures are in diverse materials—glass, bronze, stone, and wood—their surfaces are unified by a homogenising blue coating. This deliberate masking strips each form of its material specificity, referencing how digital culture and consumer industries erase difference in the pursuit of marketable sameness.
This piece continues a recurring theme in my broader body of work, EMOTICON, which explores the tension between hyper-connectivity and emotional disconnection in the digital age.
