Exhibition Planning
I think my work needs to be shown as an installation. It can be a tiny, cramped installation if space is too limited, but I really feel like what I've created are pieces of a whole. I feel like I'm building a little world of childlike honesty - uncensored views of the world, insane happiness, hysterical sadness, bluntness, and things which are sugar-coated but not disguised. Some of the work aims to approach sad or disturbing aspects of life with childlike honesty, and other pieces of work attack patronising views or phony happiness, for example by parodying them. I think the link is that the work is to do with uncensored thoughts and freedom to feel (even though I find the word "feelings" completely repulsive).
