About The Artwork
Multimedia Sculpture, 1.5m high, 1m diameter. Materials: Wood, steel, paper, photo paper, magnifying glasses. Awards: 1st prize in sculpture Coraki Art Award 2011 Utopia and Dystopia dance together by the light of the urban dream. Nature throws up her skirts in a glory of postcards hiding the grimy truth. Arising from the bones of consumer media carcass Utopia Towers gives us a peek through juxta-cultural windows. Are you looking in or looking out? Utopia Towers is a comment on city life in the 21st Century. Made from a collage of hundreds of photos of cities from around the world both manually (old fashioned scissors and glue) and digitally (photoshop) and remashed newsprint. Utopia Towers is highly detailed, which is why magnifying glasses are provided with the sculpture. The magnifying glasses act as small windows through which viewers interact with the artwork creating their own unique visual paths through the work. Utopia Towers is a large complex and detailed work, made for viewing in 360 degrees....difficult to capture in a photograph.

We have neen collaborating for over 2 years creating works on the theme utopia/dystopia, looking in particular at urban-rural disjuncture and cities, the culture and scape. Our 2 meter high sculpture Utopia Towers made from hundreds of photographs montaged both digitally and physically, in the form of a skyscraper, won the Coraki Art Award prize for best sculpture in 2011. Our latest work "The Prostitution of Time" looks at how we are all prostituted to time, the measurement of time governs our days and the amount of money we can earn. Financial pressures tie people to the clock even more. Time is money is a miodern day catch cry. Our 1.9 meter diameter doomsday clock made from mannequin parts, wood and mashed newsprint comments on the financial crisis and our slavery to a clock that is not in time with reality.
