Joseph Beuys. He's the MAN!!!!!

Well, after a pretty productive chit chat with some of my fellow 2nd years, i decided to concentrate on the ideas and emotions evoked by work such as Beuys' "Felt Suit."The idea that a portrait can show everything about a person without showing anything OF the person is a very interesting way to create work; tying in with the whole "less is more" thing. This got me thinking back to when i was young-er...and used to enjoy laying out all my clothes to make it look like a person lying down or sitting, etc. a "Fireman" if you will...( as in the way firemen lay out their uniforms to jump into in an emergency.) I really like playing with this and have had some fun with photo's. These are two of my vacant portraits. Both shot in situ, showing aspects of my daily life and that which is involved in it, without me actually appearing in them.


Work Time!


Sleepy Time!
