Consealing is an installation and participatory performance work blending notions of human, object, aliveness, audience, performer and participant through neoprene soft sculptures and a wetsuit-wearing performer. The concepts of porosity and boundaries are explored through an almost therapeutic effect brought about by the haptic engagement of the audience with the work and the work with the audience.
