This body of work was created in a time of great uncertainty: there is an unease which pervades all areas of society. With the world’s superpowers challenging each other and strutting like boxers in a heavy weight contest, parallels are seen between Kim Jong-un, Trump and Putin. Who will nuke the world first?
Who uses nerve agents to poison one man, while potentially many are caught in the collateral? Greed dominates: power corrupts.
Myths are referenced – who is burnt by flying too close to the sun? Global communication systems spread knowledge or fakery, rumour or subversion.
Reference to H G Wells – War of the worlds, David Bowie and others shows that popular media & music, which pervades every nation, is manipulated to mesmerize the populations of the world. With chilling resonances, this work reflects the times we live in, whenever that is, and whatever little details may appear to change.
The Future is coming…
