Moonboys
My fascination with artifact, after viewing military figures unearthed from a Chinese emperors tomb. The platoon at first appeared to be identical clay soldiers, all from the same mold. Yet upon examination were in fact different with a subtle difference of expression. The nudity, the obvious masculinity of the body, the same pose, with only a suggestion of the penis implying a certain androgyny intrigued me. It forced me to ponder the entire notion of sameness and individuality and the entire notion of exactly our perceptions of not just the military but life. The suggestion of independence and individuality in the expressions on their faces brought to life. We are the same yet we are all in subtle ways individuals, the face reveals all. The chorus line pose of one of the platoons also intrigued me as it suggested so many other things, and I felt I had to employ that pose in these works.
Monument
I want this series to imply our indifference to all things past, our history and the suggestion that we should be interested and yet are not willing to work at it. Things, people, places that were important to our ancestors and as a result our place in the evolution of contemporary society have been reduced to a certain irrelevance as we get on with our own lives. The abstraction of the script hopefully implies that there is something there, stories, events, that we are unable to really decode and understand.
Hiding Behind Our Words.
Masking implies concealing, hiding our true selves our identity. Words are the most obvious mask that we all employ, a universal. We all have stories to tell, that we want to tell, that they are part of our individuality and existence.
