According to Daniel Miller, objects ensure normative behaviour because we are unconscious of their capacity to do so. Would becoming aware of this process empower the individual? Could objects help us to transform our own bodies, souls, thoughts? Would forming new habits act as a catalyst for social change?
As I deal with these questions in my design process, I focus on how objects transform and support the body, as they become integral to the body’s memory along with associated gestures and sensations. The context of the home as an extension of bodily habits and as a support for routines is also important.
