Original artwork description:

This work focuses on our idolisation of the celebrity and the belief that what they say or do is beyond question, a superior being, though perhaps in reality, a false prophet who achieves division and strife.
The sculpture is created from a Herculite plaster, with a re-enforced back, covered in lead then coated in gold polish.
This is a wall piece and can be shown in two positions.
The first is the Fallen Idol, an out of control collapse of understanding, of what binds us, a self destruct button of love for ones self.
The second is the assent to a life of grandeur and self idolisation, to love only ones self and to pontificate on what one cannot understand.
Both positions I find visually striking ( see images ).
This work has been formulated over many years, only now capable of "standing alone", as now I feel it is complete.
My aim for this body part is for it to appear as if born in a volcanic liquid of rage and power.
Begun in 1994 / completed in 2020
