The roots of the word symbol mean together, throw. In other words, a symbol is something someone threw together with different materials to re-present something for the betterment of a collective understanding (maybe). This piece, I feel, is truly something that was spontaneously thrown together. I haven’t formulated what it means however. I thought it looked like certain candidates running for office, but that was too political for me. Anyway, the background is from an original drawing I made called “Ich Self?” I just can’t help but to revel in my alienating, mainstream incomprehensible wit. The bust is a cutout of a model from a magazine. I altered, distorted, partially selected, and flipped the image around enough to appropriate it more into my own creativity.
