Part of The collection The Language of Feet - Jo Cope 2016 - This project redfines footwear as having a purpose as autonomous, expressive artworks rather than existing to define a wearer. Love Triangle is the most labour intensive of the artefacts, often taking two or more peoples body weight in the process of stretching (lasting) and moulding around wooden blocks. One of the challenges was to make the pieces hollow; leather had to be left for six weeks on the handmade wooden lasts to retain their material memory. Body Language pschology claims that feet always point where they wish to go: in a situation of desire both feet point directly at the object of attraction. Love Triangle looks at these invisible lines of communication and concepts of fixed and transformable situations.
