Rock disguises (for rocks) and Rock disguises (for rocks and humans) are a series of papier-mâché sculptures—essentially “faux rocks”—made to accommodate both animate and inanimate bodies. The inquiries of New Materialist philosophers support the intuition that objects, like subjects, are dynamic and influential co-creators of the environment and human experience. Each disguise has at least one set of eye holes for the potential user(s). Made out of simple materials—flour, water, salvaged newsprint and newspaper, and tempera paint—the disguises are biodegradable and susceptible to the elements. Rock disguises can be both humourous and honest; they can offer protection and are vulnerable; they respond to and suggest a world that is more than what it seems. Rock disguises haven’t had a life outside of the studio and the artist is curious to hear participant feedback about how they operate, and in which environments they make the most sense.
