Tomorrow's Tyrants
This group of sculptures is made from silicone poured over a plaster bandaged tailor’s bust bearing my own plaster face.
The result is a second skin that exists without its body, like a screen for projection.
Lit from the inside by LED strips on perforated square aluminum tubing and draped over interlocked acrylic forms they appear like AI robot ghosts, beings of the future.
Over each torso are embroidered maps of Germany, showing election successes of extreme nationalist parties, both from 1933 and present day.
Drawn images and symbols are sewn onto their skin, that commemorate moments in the complicated history of Germany and the tentacles that spread from it into present days.
