HEROICA  TUSK- The Full Quiver 2012

 An installation series of 48 pieces including sculptures comprised of wood, enamel,
acrylic, steel, rubber, fabric, synthetic thread, antique silk ribbon. 14.5cm x
11cm x 11cm and found objects of wood and glass, dimensions  variable.
 
Heroica Tusk takes a look at our society and the impetus behind our gatherings. The figures ‘arrive’ on a wooden boat with an expression that is hard to read except
that we identify them as somehow human or at least ‘one of us’ The onlooking
crowd is also as hard to read, yet the viewer understands that there is an
undercurrent of celebration or happy apprehension. Behind the ‘audience’ is a
large glass sphere representing a balloon, to which they are all tied with a
colourful pom-pom garland. The piece is displayed simply on the floor or on a
long thin table covered with clean white paper.
