SUMMARY:Warrington Museum & Art Gallery: Warrington Museum & Art Gallery: W
 orn
DESCRIPTION:\nFootwear\, attachment and affective experience\nThis exhibiti
 on explores our relationship with and attachment to shoes. Focusing upon t
 he shoe as an everyday object\, it explores the ways that the worn shoe ma
 y act upon us\, examining how garments and people may become entwined. It 
 suggests that our particular attachment to footwear is located in our inti
 mate and tactile relationship to it\; that attachment is created through t
 ouch and wear. Through use and wear shoes become\, both a record of the we
 arer’s lived experience\, and also an extended part of themselves - a di
 stributed aspect of the self.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe manifestations of this atta
 chment are apparent in the ways that a garment wears: the creases\, folds 
 and scuffs\, which are the inevitable outcomes of use.  Gesture is preser
 ved within the garment – even when our bodies are gone traces of motion 
 remain. These marks form a web\, a map of experience. The worn garment is 
 a repository of experience\, a container of trace.\n\nThrough an iterative
  process of making\, wearing\, and recording\, these works make apparent t
 he intimacies of our relationship with shoes.  Rather than record the nar
 ratives which we apply to footwear\, they highlight the material traces of
  the relationships embodied within the artefacts themselves. The shoes her
 e are not footwear in a conventional sense but are\, instead\, objects des
 igned to amplify and make explicit their role as records of gesture and ex
 perience.  These empty shoes are records of an absent performances\, of g
 estures which are lost to the viewer so that only their traces\, the marks
  upon the shoe\, remain.\n\nEllen Sampson is an artist\, writer and curato
 r. Using film\, photography and installation\, her work explores the relat
 ionships between bodily experience\, memory and artefacts.  She addresses
  the  ways that material objects can become records of lived experience a
 nd how these traces of these experiences can be read or understood by the 
 viewer. Exploring the resonance of worn and used artefacts\, she seeks to 
 uncover how attachment is produced and maintained - the way that an object
  which is worn or held close to the body can become incorporated into the 
 self.\n\n\n\n
