non mi esprimo bene in inglese perciò ti scrivo in italiano. Trovo interessante il tuo lavoro,ma devo avere tempo per entrarci dentro. C'è molta roba e come molti lavori artistici serve tempo per essere meglio apprezzati.
ciao fabio
Regarding the white shirt, it's referencing a number of things: white cotton was much beloved by the Victorians, who believed that 'cleanliness was next to Godlinesses', so it's emblematic of English Protestantism/spirituality. But I'm also referencing the white shirts of the Crusaders and their contemporaries, the businessmen of the 20/21st centuries who conquer foreign markets rather than soil (or, in the case of Iraq, sand). 'Holy Trinity' (which caused a stir when it was exhibited as part of 'North + South' at Southampton's City Gallery last Autumn) is an essay on English spirituality. In addition to the white cotton shirts I used (suspended) pants and hankies, as if god the father, god the son and god the holy ghost are dancing/performing a rite together. Like the shirts, the (utilitarian but not sexy) Y front pants are quintessentially English, protestant and male. I'm also, through them, exploring the extent to which God is still perceived as being male, despite his ostensibly nurturing/female characteristics. And some (hard-of-thinking) people still believe that man was made in God's image. If so, how (if at all) does he support his genitalia? If he's English, he probably wears Y Fronts! The hankies reference another aspect of English spirituality: (pagan) Morris Dancing, so the whole thing is a sort of critically affectionate exploration of the history and function of English ritual. As one who was christened into the Church of England, was a novice member of a Morris side, a white shirt wearing company director (1994-2004) who was inspired by Jung's analysis of the primacy of ritual, I feel thoroughly vindicated in presenting and defending this piece (in fact I really enjoyed the flack)!
