Mixed media piece" St Sebastian Of Our Times"

These are some shots of a mixed media piece titled "St Sebastian of our Times" it is a commentary of sorts on the destructive nature of the world we live in, we wage war not only on each other but on ourselves. We are self destructive sometimes unknowingly in a quest to be perfect, to fit in, to matter and for this quest we torture ourselves and those around us.
I did this piece a couple of years ago in follow up to another similar piece called "what has become of the God of Love?" again, commenting on why we destroy that which we covet and claim to love.

Helped out on this

As part of the Whitworth Art Gallery's grand finale Lucy made this recreation of Jacob Epstien's Genisis sculpture in the park and I was fortunate enough to have a full on week helping out with it. It was hard work but well worth it and I learned a lot about weaving with willow. It gave me some ideas for some rather large pieces I would like to do as well.
