Breakdown and Repression Project

Another rather confusing surreal project based around memory and repression. Here are some manic drawingings from a wee book i made "Drawing from ideas"


Following those drawingmejiggs where a succession of sculptures, photos and some oil paintings: for representation of repression i stuck a birdcage on my head (well obviously to me this made allot of sense..
Did oil painting and some sketches to tie it all together and continued on this road to madness...
Then i made a brain out of rubber and suspended that in the cage...(see manic sketches)took a few more photos (which i wont feature because they are of an ex sporting some beer cans and alarm clocks bless him...) Aaaaaand started work on another painting revolving around repression and breakdown
*Waiting for the alarms to go off, the envitable breakdown*

Running out of time with this project, I didn’t have a chance to do all the collections of photos and paintings (and judging from the drawing from ideas book I had loaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaads of ideas!!) To have a conclusive piece of work for this project I created the following: Two Paintings. I don’t HAVE EXACT measurements for these two.. and they are quite badly placed together in this photo but hey ho..
Height 152cm x Width 200cm I THINK...

Allegory of Repression
