Exhibition: "Paradise lost"at M16: 23 March 2017
1. "Paradise lost": This philosophy behind this work is that we have one home which is the earth and leaving it is fraught with danger. The earth is in trouble and the mother tries to hold it close as it surely dies. The four hobby horsemen of the apolaypse ride away in all directions. The horror of the nine eleven attacks are the last act of a wealthy cabal of ready to sacrifice everyting to seize the last of the earth's resouces. There is no alternative but to try and find another home. The perils of outer space threaten and haunt the humans as they depend on their fragile spacecraft to transverse the cosmos. The flying nun was also seen leaving the earth. Only the space ponys were free. The materials used were caneite cut into hexagons and coated with fabric. The painting was done using a mixture of media, including acrylic, oils and pastels. The assemblage is approximately 4 meters wide and 2.5 high.
