Lapieza: Junk
|
28th October – 23rd December 2010 Lapieza. Palma. 15, Malasana, Madrid, Spain.Using the theme “junk” I acquired a pair of old gloves used in a forge to cast artworks for other artists. I’ve drawn those gloves and then started taking them apart, drawing them as they disintegrate. A third piece of work is inspired by a disused old fruit juice carton.

Protest the Pope banner
|
|
|
| Several protests were organised to coincide with the Pope’s visit to the UK. I decided to create a banner to convey my feelings towards him for a march in London. In light of the various charges made against the Pope I felt a red skeleton in a mitre was appropriate. The Latin text at the top of the banner is supposed to say “I want your soul” and reads “Volo vestri animus”. A few Latin speakers told me the text should have read something like “Volo vestri animum” – I’ll get it right next time.
Some of the reasons for my protest included: Ratzinger’s decades-long cover-up of child rape, the UK govt’s decision to offer a tax-funded state visit to the Pope and the govt’s continued shifting of state services to religious organisations, which are exempt from many discrimination laws that the rest of us must rightly abide by. |
