Tools, Instruments and Toys
These words describe objects that narrate language through use and being used, ‘action through interaction’. They propose an opportunity to role-play a ‘performance’ between the animate and inanimate.

I am curious about the slowness within everyday functional objects whose mechanisms are of a primitive and humbling nature: ‘manual’ objects whose use requires fuller physical effort, dedication and investment from the user, promoting the idea that such heightened attention encourages a relationship of gained intimacy and ritual.
