Nik Ramage

‘Shoe Adventures’ is a collection of augmented footwear. It includes Wheel Heels (perhaps not what the inventors of the wheel had in mind), Bread Shoes (white tin loaves for walking, wholemeal bloomers for bouncing), Ice-Soles (with a fraction of friction of standard shoes), Man Handling and Step Shoes, in three sizes. Created between 2020 and 2024.

Nik Ramage makes sculptural machines that have drifted away from utility and objects that have forgotten their purpose. Each work might rest on a paradox or embrace absurdity, but it is comfortable with its own quirks and runs to its own logic.
