Life in the Woods
Paper, scissors, glue, table, posters, 2007 |
|
An on-going body of works on paper that
explores the potentiality of the gallery space as a site for
proposition, discussion and debate. Theodoreau,
Unabomber FBI Sketch (as woodcut)
and Lincoln, Montana form
a relational project that looks at the possible similarities
between Henry David Thoreau, the 19th century author of Walden
and On Civil Disobedience, and Theodore Kaczynski who
was dubbed The Unabomber during his Luddite bombing campaign
in the US from the 1970s onward. Both men rejected consumerist
society, retreating from civilisation to live in backwoods cabins
and both advocated acts of violence for what they perceived
as a just cause.
In the gallery visitors can make their
own cabin based on elements from Thoreau's and Kaczynski's isolated
hideaways. Posters on the walls are digitally made 'woodcuts'
derived from images of the men's cabins and FBI eyewitness sketches. |
