| 'Behold! Modern Man is a multi-mixed media event. A work of art it is, but it is also an event unto itself. It's a work that you must see in person, you need to touch it, you need to see the shadow the kite tail makes against your wall, you need to see how the prayer flags move in the slightest stirring of air currents, you need to know what they have written upon their frail surfaces. Honestly I have found things that over the weeks as I have worked this message in a bottle out of my head, that I don't remember putting in. It all done in, flash moments, work came together. I found the vintage toy paper flag at a tag sale years ago. Folded and mostly intact. Aged, used, saved and loved. The vintage, real ration stamps, not copies, from the world war years came next, they too had been saved, stored, kept and horded; themselves still a symbol of some faceless person, of their fear for and love of those in their care. I can't remember where I got them now. The clay project rejects came out of a box a few weeks back, I remember when I was packing them, why are you taking up limited room for rejects? Because I am a lover of rejected things. Simple. Now their use is clear, of course they were headed to the bluegrass in a brown cardboard box; their truths to be told here in this event. Proud they are not the side show; the freak tent; they are sculptures of symbolic meaning, sacred totems, not rejects, no not at all. Toys, I love small plastic or otherwise toys. Pocket stuff. I collect it every where I go. Mementos of lives lived. They found their way to the event as well, I mean what's an event without a cracker jack whistle (vintage and real), an alien space man with a ray gun (another cracker jack toy), a baby in a frying pan (Thanks Barbie play house!), a little bling-bling rhinestone bow (real and vintage, it once was a broach, loving and proudly worn and anxiously picked out), the always present small mirrors, to catch yourself, to see inside, inside the event itself. There are secret messages, there are bold statements, there are loving messages of hope, there are hard realities of American Life as I see it. It's an event, as I mentioned. I have given as many pictures as I dare too, you need to buy a ticket to see this event in real life, because I don't want to spoil the show. I don't ever rain on parades...or events either, nuh-uh, not me. No way. Have a great day, I hope you enjoy. Heather |
