Wings and Wires is a collaboration with Ashley Farmer using text from her book, The Women, CCM 2016. This video essay premiered in Triquarterly, a publication of Northwestern University.
Wings and Wires examines gendered tropes through surreal, gestural vignettes. While excerpts of poetry are read by the author, we see vibrant depictions of the sinister trappings of domesticity and rampant material culture. Gender is another construct of capitalism to produce more shiny objects to mesmerize us.
