FLUFFY TOWN

There was once Alpha House, its sketch-Club, and all around a big city full of sky scraped by concrete and glass, and in between, other 'itch-hickers' taking over galleries and the street! I'm going down, down, down, down... to Fluffy Town!

Three pics of the 'Thyrsis'


Eleven artless poo-men are trapped in a shopping-trolley of a jail, and like a single man, they're escaping from it any way they can. That is 'the Great Escape' and it could be it.

But above the shopping trolley hangs an abstract structure made of balsa wood and coiled galvanised wire, 'Coils and Tears'. Blue oil is dripping from it and falling randomly onto the escapees.

This is a 4D work because firstly, the oil pouring turns it into a clepsydron; and the raw clay the poo-men are made of, slowly shrinking, introduces an element of risk and unsteadiness in their position, thus remindind us that they're in an uncomfortable situation, to say the least.
