In Seeming, Mackay-Sim explores our changing perceptions of the body as it moves through private and public spaces. We present our bodies differently in different contexts, altering our social performances to seem one way or another, or ceasing performance altogether when we at last feel secure.
Through these works, Mackay-Sim expresses the challenge of navigating how our bodies are viewed and interpreted by ourselves and others. The title, Seeming, evokes our attempts to actively direct, or control, the way we are read by others when we leave our private spaces.
