Let Me Get That For You is intimate and earnest, though shares in the humour of I Can Be Your Dream Girls. The two images are an exaggeration and extension of gestures performed within love and service, the work functioning as more of a performance. It took the weight of the objects and an instinctual interaction with the world for the full meaning to take form; to know extended arms as a way of connecting, of reaching out. The arms were also clumsy, strange; it was a wonky kind of connecting with the world, that was at the same time compensated for with a far reach.
Ultimate Fantasy questions truth of or own identities within the context of relationships, how it exaggerates, stretches and extends. Alongside discomfort there is joy and humour in this series; I don’t mind overextending myself for those I love. Everything in moderation, remembering to warm up and stretch after.
