jo cope's 'walk of life' stretches the art of the cobbler to its limits

jo cope's 'the laguage of feet in the walk of life', is a dynamic reimagining of the common shoe that literally pushes the art of the cobbler to its limits.

“In making the shoes, cope wanted to address and engage with the world of imagination far removed from that of practicality and logic but just as real and important to artists. ‘walking for me is a mesmerising act and one that can hold much symbolism in life with reference to the journey and relationship with the self,’ she explains. you may not be able to wear these shoes to the groceries store, but they still embody real life metaphors and human experience. the work is intended as installation pieces in a gallery environment, and although the physical body has been removed, each can be worn as easily as your favourite pair of slippers.”
