Work Sets is a collaborative textile-based project by Liljana Mead Martin and Caitlin Chaisson that looks at the hidden labour of social connectedness and the ways in which affect informs and shapes those relationships. Focusing on haptic and sensorial investigations, the artists perform gestures and postures towards one another that reflect on our capacity to register feeling in a number of spaces. The work takes felt as both a material and metaphorical concern, allowing artists and participants to explore the intervening space between people, objects, and sites.
