Stephen Fry with Care Bear Head
(continued)
It has come to the point where I’m grabbing family members on the off chance that they will pose for me in the bear head, but it’s good I’m not complaining, they are quite willing. This here is Tom, bro in law, and previous model. Just thinking who I can persaude next.
Looks a little spontaneous which is thumbs up, Tim says it captures the spirit of the original pap, I didn’t want it looking staged. I think this is because the photos are taken in the out house in the dark, it was freezing and we were in a rush (as always).
I’m planning on taking as many of these photos as I can, with anyone, and present them in a block/ grid format. It reminds me of Sesame Street’s game ‘one of these people is not like the others’ from way back, where the tv screen was didvided and we had to guess the odd one out.
I don’t believe my work particularly engages with humour but it seems a dirty word in contemporary art, as if it devalues any seriousness or depth. I would have to disagree with that.
