For me, the bed is the ultimate depiction of unity of the body and everyday object. bed as a place of mourning. bed as a place of ecstasy. bed as a comfort. bed as means of neglect. bed as refuge. bed as a place of growth. bed as a place of deterioration. bed as rest. A bed for a restless head.

found bedframe, silicone, resin, blood, cement, urine, hair, readymade watches, LED light
54”x74”
the structure of the bed (body) is fortified with cinderblocks made from a mixture of cement powder and amanda's urine
a tinted silicone "skin" stretches over the bedframe as a silicone replica of the artist's foot attempts to penetrate the sheet/skin
silicone casts of products amanda uses regularly, each felted with hair from the artist's head
silicone and resin casts of headphones and pads and toothbrushes **reminder to self to edit the other piece out of background*
in-studio detail shot. casts of my retired toothbrushes, felted with hair from my head (yes we are speaking in first person now)
oh look another fleshy, jiggly, skin-like headphone with pubes
