Lignosseosaur. 1998 - pretend fossil
Kind of a joke, but not many people get it. I am fascinated by

to me.

Spiral Path 1999 Steel, brass, glass
Refers to the Buddhist teaching of conditioned co-production or
Pratitya Samutpada in which there are two types of conditinality
- one cyclic (samsara) and one progressive. Sangahrakshita
refers to the latter as the Spiral Path. The spiritual life can
be seen as progressing along the spiral towards Nirvana.

Nuclear Barbie (draft) 1998 Barbie, electrical bits and
pieces
First stage of development on a machine Barbie. Sparked partly
by list of alternative
Barbies
(Trailer Trash Barbie, Divorce Barbie - comes with Kens accessories).
There's also something about manufactured images of femininity.

Pope - 1998. Collage
Based on an advert for NZ Telecom featuring the Pope giving a blessing.
The symbol of the raised hand fascinates as does the apparent blessing
of the wonderful new Telecom product. Guess what I think of this.

Bricks. 1998 - bricks and stuff
I originally made the Brick with Handle (2nd from left) as a kind
of homage to Marcel Duchamp and then just got carried away.
