Ship of Fools

This scultpture works well on different levels, ranging from child-like wonder and delight at the scale of the paper boat construction in itself, through the rather surreal and preposterous positioning of such a huge origami vessel into a small garden pond; to an invitation to question our preoccupation with absorbing the mental concoctions of the media in the formation of a flimsy and temporal paper boat “reality”, when all around is such vibrancy of colour, beauty and depth of space.

LONDON DADA 
That’s what news is old love, a paper boat waiting to sink into it’s own swamp, never the truth but sensationalist pap, scaring us all with terrorist crap, into the bath and turn on the tap, why do we fall into this ludicrous trap, a paper boat? I’ll not sail in her thank you.
