ARTIST'S
STATEMENT
First,
there is a repetitive need to document collective miseries of peoples
as the zeitgeist seems to be [again] an over-celebration of the
individual as an aim of civilisation -from hedonism to esoteric.
Second, verbal language as a means of communication seems to have
come to an impasse. Attempt, therefore, with all the individual
limitations, is mainly to investigate social pathology. Contrasts
in material conditions, in mental lives of humans are gross, stark
and disturbing. Hunger and poverty, to name only two forms of social
ills, make atomised self an almost elitist concept [and its derivatives
from hedonism to esoteric]. Additionally the conflicting agenda
of the main agencies affecting our lives - the state, market and
media make even the simple and direct statement of a social problem
difficult. Now to communication. We apparently speak the same verbal
language but actually ideas are laden with individual pre-conception.
Thus more the elaboration of what is meant, more the scope for distortion
of what was meant. Hopefully, the none-too-subtle pictures, sometimes
with captions, go some way in statement of a problem.
