Last by Caroline Gore

A new series that investigates the chasm between remembering and forgetting and the devise of forming ideas through the acts of mending and alteration. A “last” is an industrial tool, similar in form to an anvil, upon which shoes are constructed. Each size and style requires a specific last, and although the shoe-making process is repetitive, this method marks time and, consequently, a feeling of reoccurring timelessness that is mirrored in the repeated forms and other signifiers inherent in the outcome. This common, time-honored technique inspired "last", the latest manifestation of Gore’s philosophically poignant aesthetic.
