Born in Manila, Philippines. Living and working in Glasgow. I am interested in the corruptive function of excess, particularly its central role in constructing closed systems of meaning that proclaim the absoluteness of power and the obsolescence of societal values. Through drawing and sculpture, I seek to explore the relationships between excess and collapse, ornament and excrement, decadence and delusion, relationships that have defined the trajectories of history, from the consequences of Marie Antoinette’s rococo revelry to the anachronistic but all too appropriate presence of Louis XIV furniture in the private chambers of totalitarian governments, to our own schizophrenic relationship |
