Machismo
Within the exhibition I addressed the topic of modern masculinity through my use of screenprinted imagery and innovative construction methods. My imagery draws on my observations of relationships and the imposed sexual expectations placed on men today. My men are represented by curious animal like creatures which have been reduced to a perfunctory series of primal urges. The work consists of large scale prints on cast concrete mounted on large free standing steel structured utilising the inherent masculinity of the materials size, strength and toughness juxtaposed against the surface imagery to further resonate the mental state of the depicted characters.
