Artist Statement:
“Death is no longer another
stage in a process that ends
in a union with God, it is an
ending of everything that our
culture celebrates, an
unbearable full stop. To admit
the fact of death is to admit
that we have lost control. We
cannot manage the individual
body forever.”
Chris Townsend, Vile Bodies,
Photography and the Crisis Of

Looking, Prestel, 1998, pg130
)

Whilst death is a
condition of life, the sight
of people dying in reality is
generally hidden from public
view and is a subject which
today is considered to be even
unsociable to speak about.
Religion prepares us well for
our impending demise and the
thought of a heavenly
existence elsewhere seems to
almost dominate the lives of
most of those who cannot
comprehend the possibility of
eventually becoming a
nonentity.
Whilst not disregarding the
concept of Heaven or denying
its existence All the King’s
Horses and All the King’s Men
couldn’t put Humpty Together
Again is descriptive of the
reality of what happens to the
body after death and is an
exhibition of work which is
emblematic of the
vulnerability of the corpse
and its lack of authority
regarding post mortems.
