Animalistic Chaos & The Children Mixed Media
wire figures on screen printed fabric. Comments on how governments are like animals

ARTIST STATEMENT

Governments are immature and act like animals. Elections are a joke and an inconvenience for all. There is a growing nature that those responsible for national decisions are purely a bunch of farm animals with underdeveloped minds that carelessly attack each other for hierarchy with no concern for the implications of their selfish pettiness. Political leadership currently reflects a child’s underdeveloped mind, clouded by their wants. This work depicts government decisions, where the children are manipulated by the animals. Like the marketing of an election campaign, we see a display of greed and power. Where is your vote?

ARTWORK PROCESS

Developed from a reflection on the actions of governments after recent elections, and the loss of faith by voters.
