When Good People Make Bad Art

This was the very first project we were set in sculpture. It was a found object "self portrait" object. Now you all know that i haven't "made" a sculpture since wimbledon in 2005, and so i had tremendous amounts of difficulty plus we only had two weeks to do it, so there wasn't much time to explore the idea and really search out objects. I luckily found these old speakers two days before the crit and i tried to use elements i had been working with when i left Glasgow, soil and plants. Then i added the only books that i had in New York, they're mostly important books to me most of them have traveled with me from London to Glasgow, from Glasgow to London and then from London to New York.


I think it's a completely obvious and immature piece that says noting more than what is shown.

I wasn't committed to the piece or the idea and so didn't try too hard, i was a little disgruntled by it everything so was very flippant about it all.
