Statement
My project is a model of a subverted skateboard, as in a skateboard that would be rendered unusable and unpractical. To achieve this, I thought of the many features that we brand as "convenient" in our everyday lives, such as clothes hangers, lightbulbs, cup holders, anchors, etc., but by adding them onto an object in which its use and purpose is defined by it's portability and mobility, it would render both the object and the convenient features null, cancelling each other out and creating an overall non-object that has no function but to merely exist. Because an actual real life version of this would be impossible considering the amount of time given for this project and my current financial state, I decided to instead create a small-scale model prototype of the intended final product, out of cardboard, and assembled together with hot glue. The final conceptual sculptural product is a subversion of the concept of "play" by rendering the found playable object -the skateboard- unplayable.
