Exhibited at 'People/Animals' Flat Exhibition, Edinburgh, May 2008.
I wanted to one, create an object of near perfection, and second, destroy this object of near perfection. By creating this cube with my own hands I have invested an amount of care, attention and emotion into it. By building the cube and then destroying it in a manic fashion, using my fists or nails, I am demonstrating both sides of what it is to be human.
This work raises questions of ownership. If I have created this? Do I have the right to destroy it? If I promise to rebuild it, do I have the right to destroy it. These questions are further raised in relation to, not inaminate objects, but living things in another work "Death of a Plant".
