Bodywork

Machine, body and attitude collapse into one impossible silhouette.

Bodywork treats the car as armour, costume and character. The small painted figure carries the weight of an oversized bonnet with complete ease. The humour is immediate, but beneath it is a question about how objects become extensions of the way we want to be seen.

This text is a creative reading of the image, not a factual account of how the work was made.
