The female form has been coerced into becoming a hybrid device for the provocation of the mechanical element of male survival-compulsion. Who decides on her shape? The woman? The man influencing the woman? Or the woman influencing the man who is influencing the woman? She is crumpling under the pressure of a disproportionate condition of society to conform to a consensus of physical appearance-aesthetics. ‘virtual woman’ is packaged, sold, and yet ultimately unobtainable and the real beauty is that you can never possess the beauty, either as a vast majority of women, who are obliged to subscribe to what is recognised as a universal, albeit manufactured, physical identity, or the vast majority of men for whom beauty appears to be a persistent pressing-of-a-button somewhere in the depths of the male genetic framework. But is this unobtainable aesthetic ultimately more seductive because it transcends the elementary function of wanting and obtaining (a dynamic that ceases to exist if the goal is reached). In other words is this consumer limbo far more desirable than the product itself? With technology taking a precedent will we come to inhabit a realm of singular potentiality beyond the need for reality?

my name is Toby Short, I undertake commissioned public art, design furniture and create figurative sculptures. I am interested in the space in-between things. In that which defies our immediate perception. My work concerns the discovery of something integral to us all but which is hard to grasp. I am particularly fascinated in the way we view the world via the machines we have created, In the way that computers portray life. The development of this idea I call ‘fractal mentality’. ‘fractal mentality’ can be seen in some sculptures below.
