​​​​Something to Do With My Hands explores the intersection of care, maintenance, and creation through a staged workshop frozen in time. The installation depicts a laborer’s unseen struggle: building a simple chair from the same two-by-fours that form the structure around them, only to abandon the space in frustration, hurling the chair through a window. This fragmented narrative reflects the exhaustion of labor and the self-neglect that accompanies relentless making. The chair—a humble, handmade object—becomes a symbol of both dedication and disillusionment, emphasizing the undervalued nature of craft. Ice’s work draws parallels to his grandfather’s craftsmanship, contrasting the durability of utilitarian structures with the spectacle of fine art. By blurring the lines between art, craft, and labor, the installation questions how value is assigned to different forms of making, highlighting the sacrifices embedded in the pursuit of creation.
