"It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining."

Sketchup including Patricia Piccininis' and Ricky Swallow's work


Description of Swallow use of materials (Below: mounment)


The “monument” which is created by Ricky Swallow is statuary. There is only one material be used- concrete. Because of the only one material, the “monument” just has one color. The dark grey creates a serious and tedious atmosphere. The statuary‘s eyes are closed and let people have a depressed feeling. Moreover, the artist used the material to make the statuary dissolved in water. The water is connecting with the calm face which gives an extract effect. The construction of the “monument” is not very complicate, however, it seems want to convey some information.

Description of Patricia's use of materials (Above: unusual)



Patricia Piccininis’s “The Young Family” is a really special artwork. She made the pig connect to human. The main materials for this work are polyethylene, leather and some hair. These materials are a bit strange when people saw them at first time. Those materials let the “mother” looks like a human being. She has arms, legs and face. However, there are snout, pigtail, and long ears on her which are very unusual. These special connections can create people’s imagination about the relationship between them. Furthermore, the facial expression which shown by the materials is sad, tired and hopeless. Normally, just people have facial expression, so once aging we need to think about the meaning of this artwork. Let’s think about how human’s activities relate to animals.
