What would it feel like to walk on clouds? Soft, squidgy, boingy...
When I made these shoes I was exploring the idea of thinking through my feet. I'm interested in subverting our perspective, flipping things upside down, turning stuff inside out in order to question how we interact with our surroundings. Clouds are symbols which are often used to represent the process of thinking, so I decided to make them into walking vessels on which to sink my bare feet into. Above is below and air has become solid matter. Walking enables me to think and also escape thinking; an immersive contradiction.
