Events inside a chalice is my most recent indoor work and marks a shift into the more self conscious mode of relating text to object and of reprocessing the old surrealist 'trick' of presenting several possible resonances simultaneously. Here we see the bread and wine but where is the chalice? What does the chalice refer to? is it the symbol of the word in religious imagery or is it the cube of the gallery which focuses the attention-is the bread and wine made sacred by man or by God? This kind of parabling is made possible within Post modern culture as the monolithic ly coercive meanings fall away and we are left freely to ponder-which was the very manner in which the parables were told- with all their subversive, deconstructionist effect...Jesus Christ-the great iconoclast.
