called 'Dismembered'
Materials: Unfired clay, glass face, plaster cast of partner’s testicles, mould and wood.
The clay has been formed has been formed into several phallic shapes separated from the testicles representing male impotence and castration. This contrasts with the symbolic entry of the table within the outer structure. The mould is further evidence of decay surrounding he male form. The glass face nestling in the clay piece shows a smug satisfaction. The unfired clay phallic shapes is a work started and shows the emergence of male strength and virility but cut off from the male body they are disguarded and have no potency or power. The clay piece appears to have been manipulated randomly or in anger or as though an initial work has been destroyed and abandoned; the viewer can decide.
