Pathetic Fallacy is an intergenerational dialogue about growing old.
Youth doesn't believe it will age. Age believes it knows best. Humans believe in the pathos of humanity. And the cycle continues.

"I warmed to …an innocence in the performances that suggested co-existence of machine and human in the domestic, private space is not spectacular (as is often proposed) but quite prosaic. So it felt the offer from …the artist was very thoughtful and considered notwithstanding that their discussion about ageing is quite disconcerting." David Pledger, curator, writer, futurist
