"A human body grasping at its limit of potentiality is typically understood within the domain/dialectic of sport. To excel athletically, a body must suspend its tendency to be slippery, chaotic and imprecise. It is a technical challenge that sporting excellence is usually framed by both the amplification and the reduction of ways a body may move through space."

I like and connect with this quote in respect to my practice. It sums up the things that i'm interested in, both inside of my studio practice and in my job and life outside of uni. It connects with my job and training as a gym instructor, with my passion for sports - at the moment triathlon and the ways in which I like to interact with materials.
I used this quote to start off my contextual statement as a way in to my own work.
