finaly got posting some photos of the graduation work
and here is my artist statement for them.
This collection of work is based on dissection of remnants of war.
Gasmasks, bullets, shrapnel, tank-stoppers and shattered bricks are incorporated in the various works.
During previous wars it was not uncommon to see public art, railings and other metal ornament being removed, melted, and made into ammunition. By incorporating these materials I am in a small way reclaiming these objects.
As well as incorporating materials linked to warfare, I wish to explore the idea of personal security, and the body as battlefield.
