Managers managers

Been making tons of managers. its been going well. i aim to do a sculpture every day, and more or less its been working like that. I never quite finish em so each will require a fettle later, but usually by then cos they been maturing a while, i'll decide to either not do much to em or trash em altogether. thats ok, its a 2nd level cull process.

tonight i made one businessman bending over giving a brown eye and called it "business presentation". That could be taking it all a bit far, perhaps. Its a bit too honest. We certainly can't have stuff thats too honest in a show about managers. I'd get sacked, for a start. The wider range of metaphorical escapades could be mistaken for social commentary about the whole world of business/family/humanity/the universality of lost dreams & hopes/pitiful human condition in the 1st world/pursuit of happiness lifelong detour, etc, .....but sledgehammer stuff like that is not very... um... sofistikated.

Still, it was interesting making the dude cos he's pretty twisted up & has his head upside down & that. I'm behind one sculpture in the grand plan but i guess it was a good exercise.

Anyway it could be that the manager theme is already getting towards exhausting itself. Once it bitters up like that u may as well get fresh onto a new theme. Its all fine cos a sprinkle of small themes in this show will be orright.

Todays sculpture:
