Round 10, “My Little Runaway” by Houston-based artist Alex Goss. In his installation, Goss references his own mutation. By animating custom made, six-fingered latex gloves, “My Little Runaway” fantasizes on an unrequited relationship with a forbidden and lost appendage. A single, motor-driven belt threads each spectral hand together; flopping and flailing, they rotate in their own eccentric paths within the cycle of motion. This figurative and literal loop functions as a monument for anatomies and identities that fall along the periphery of established boundaries.
