Wear and Tear. Materials remember pressure. A fold in a photograph, a sagging fabric, a leak, an abrasion or a deflated balloon records the forces that have passed through it.Kenny treats these marks as evidence rather than damage to be concealed. Casting and enlargement give fatigue a physical presence, allowing the used object to retain its aura while becoming something else. The section approaches wear as a material analogue for allostatic load: the cumulative effect of repeated pressure on a body or structure. It considers maintenance,exhaustion and resilience without turning hardship into spectacle. What survives is neither restored nor romanticised. It carries its history on the surface.
