About the work
'It's always worth seeing what happens if you repeat, double or duplicate something. In the case of the twiddling thumbs video, something interesting occurs. Little, fleshy, headless bodies straddle the individual videos; dancing their own unique, circular dance. They move to different times and sway rhythmically. There is something perverse about it; uncanny. It is something new; something transgressing the known.'
