While continuing to work on the 8 figure sculpture for Flux Exhibition in July, I have also been avidly making drawings to compliment the sculptural pieces and to flesh out new ideas for the project.
The image of the figure will be used to produce a large scale print of repeated figures that gradualy fade (or disintigrate) from left to right. This is an image I have in my mind to show how memories fragment and vanish over time.
The gothic archway is a plan for a large scale sculpture (possibly 10′ in height) to act as a centrepiece for the eventual Drawing Demons Exhibition. It is inspired by Rodins Gates of Hell, a work that has been in my subconcious for many years. The major difference, aside from the lack of human figures, is that the door is open. It is the assertion that hell is a very real place and we are already living in it. Don’t believe me? All you need to do is check out the news around the globe AND at home.
This piece will test both my own commitment and metal as a sculptor and the qualities of the material.
Lastly, this final image of the foetus carrying an assault rifle will be produced as a ceramic transfer to be used in the next Artmonkey72 Freerange event. Keep checking back for more information on that!!
