“Auspicious Messenger – kinetic sculpture by Bob Potts https://www.madgallery.net/geneva/en/…https://www.youtube.com/user/PottsScu…
In his one-man workshop housed in an 1850s barn, Potts creates ethereal kinetic sculptures capturing the very essence of natural rhythmical movements like the flight of birds or the oars of boats in his inimitable style
Born in 1941, the artist is a connoisseur of form, movement, and visual grace. The New York state-based artist manages to capture this reverence for nature by using a pallet of gears, cranks, sliders, levers and chain links to create kinetic sculptures
Potts invests substantial amounts of creativity and energy into his pieces. His sculptures can take up to a year to complete and each work of art is a unique piece”

Each demonstrates the differences of how the form is manipulated and changed when bound with corsets. One shows a natural form while the other is shaped to conform to create a more ‘beautiful’ silhouette. The largest image is simply a documentary image showing the wrapping process of how the mold easily shows the 'new’ contours of my body. This particular photo reminds me of the work of Una Burke and Etienne Gros, especially as the wire emphasizes the curves and softness of the female body, yet through exposing it, it strives to control it.
When I was wearing this, allowing the wire to mold to the contours of my body the metal felt like armour, although more for decorative purposes rather than protection.
