Artist Statement:
RECENTLY I HAVE BECOME
INTERESTED IN USING FOUND
CARTON BOXES AND PLASTIC TO
USE AS VEHICLES FOR CONCEPTUAL
IDEAS. THESE ITEMS ARE
WORTHLESS IN THEMSELVES. I TRY
AND IMPART WORTH TO THEM BY
IMPREGNATING THEM WITH
CONCEPTUAL IDEAS. THEY THEN
BECOME SOMETHING OTHER THAN
JUST JUNK ITEMS. THEY FIND A
NEW LIFE AS THEY BECOME ART.
THE PIECE "THE CLOSET" IS
CONCERNED ABOUT SKELETONS IN
THE CLOSET. IN THIS INSTANCE
IT REFERS TO THE SKELETONS IN
THE CLOSET OF AMERICA. THIS
CLOSET IS SEE THROUGH FOR THE
WHOLE WORLD TO SEE. IT
CONTAINS A SKELETON MADE OF
PAPER. IT ALSO CONTAINS PIECES
OF CANVAS WITH WRITING ON THEM
EXPLAINING A FEW OF THE
"SKELETONS" IN AMERICA'S
CLOSET. THINGS THAT ARE
EMBARRASING TO ADMIT AS A
NATION. ON THE TOP IS THE
AMERICAN FLAG CUT OUT OF
PLASTIC FROM AN OLD ESTATE
COMPANYS ADVERTIZING BOARD. ON
THE OUTSIDE IS A STICKER OF
"THE LONE RANGER" REFERRING TO
AMERICAS ROLE AS THE LONE
RANGER IN WORLD AFFAIRS.
OTHER CONCEPTUAL PIECES REFERS
TO PROBLEMS,ISSUES IN SOUTH
AFRICA. THE PIECE "OLD BOB'S
GETAWAY" REFERS TO ROBERT
MUGABE, FROM ZIMBABWE....
