Power Gesture (front) and Leg Bouncer: Stress Expresser (back) from Beyond Words: Expressive Gestures 

Investigating modes of communication through bodily expression, Jennifer Crupi creates a group of interactive, prosthetic-like proposals for instruments of gestural expression. Each sculpture imagines and presents a different outlet for stress, excitement, and the desire to communicate through body language and self-discovery. By viewing and interacting with the work, the artist seeks to illicit the underlying reasons for our seemingly casual gestures.
