GRITTY DIADEM. 2010. 390CM X 180CM X 240CM. bear and coke can, binding wire and metal.

Gritty diadem, 2010, beer and coke cans, binding wire and metal, 390cm x 180cm x 240cm. This work with its mix of ideas tries to demonstrate a parody and humor of a royal crown. Man has found himself in an endless pursuit of wants, desires and wishes; we have lived our normal lives in harsh situations as heirs apparent. We sink bore holes for water, run generators for power, drive on bad roads to work, seek healing in unequipped hospitals, lecturers, school teachers and students haggle in dilapidated learning spaces while the labor force still argue with their employers, together with the rage of mass unemployment, while we desire good things in life, we move on in the midst of these conditions.

THE QUEENS FORTRESS, 2010, papper, top bond and earth, 360CM X 540CM X 180CM

Slurry Queens Fortress, 2010, paper, top bond and earth, [360cm x 540cm x 180cm] mounds of earth hill made with paper and smeared with earth and spread in the exhibition space informs one’s idea of strength in weakness. This work invokes one’s sense of confidence, assurance and a poise to make do with what we have, by this I mean that one should start up with whatever he has for the sake of buoyancy and reawakening .these elements revolve around personal development and growth. I have been assured of this by the site of many ant hills I have come across. Though these hills come with apparent vulnerability, but in considering the process of making them, one discovers that every one is capable of construction, positive construction. It can be seen that good management of resources can manifest better results.
