“Monsters of Empire” – a series exploring the ills when the clothing of monsters is shrugged off onto men.
The process involved constructing 5 large sculptures (not pictured), for which oversized clothing and accessories were made, these were then taken off the sculptures and worn by men.
- South Africa 1902 – “Obviously all heavy crimson drapes have gilded fringing”
- Londonderry 1972 – “Thankfully most errant rounds don’t hit the belt itself”
- Afghanistan 2001 – “We remove deck-nails like we remove fingernails – slowly.”
- Kenya 1952 – “Terribly sorry, but I cannot understand you – it sounds as if my hands are blocking your throat”
(Backpack not pictured)
- India 1857 – “Now, my son, fetch the cannons and the rope, for I will teach you how we control dissidence”
