So this is all for him? Introducing ‘lady erricson’
We need to talk about lady erricson
>okay<
It comprises of?
>a poster, two small yellow plastic objects with inlets to slot and hold the poster’s form, oil paint and black electrical tape<
In all intent and purpose it is a painting, what, or a sculpture?
>it is a prop that adheres to other drawn content in the show, which is painted and adjusted according to character and resonance with other works by Jennifer Picken and myself<
To what extend does it stand?
>it stands on its own two feet, which have been carefully cut from the rolled and then slightly unrolled poster<
What was the content of the poster?
>it was an advertisement for a Sony Erricson phone, but the content, save the lady’s face, has been dis-continued with either overlaid paint or by folds and cuts in making the prop<
So, during the process of the props manifestation the original source material was left to ruin?
>yes<
“The colours of ‘lady erricson’ are from a page cut out from a design magazine, displaying a prototype wardrobe of sorts, which looks (and has now been collaged to look) like a tower. The pallet therefore of much of the work by Richard in the show ‘Au Dessus De to Hunters Tryst’, is sourced from this very page cut out and ‘lady erricson’ sets the scene as it were, for the installation and adornment of other found and altered pieces.”
War paint?
<yes, war paint>
