‘The Sun, the Moon, and Me (Animals don’t have identity crisises)’ £60 each/£150
all
“This piece is about ecology and identity; the animals behave naturally, without
self-doubt, the splatters of tea reflecting their inherent ability to exist freely while
the human figure is encased in her best guess of naturalness, her expression one
of sadness and uncertainty. By using the hare, a traditional symbol for the Moon,
and the stag, a traditional symbol for the Sun, the piece also invokes questions of
gender identity, as the human figure is uncertainly placed between representations
of female and male sexuality.”
