The cartoon dumbbell suggests the load we have to carry, but its only a drawing, to misquote Hockney, it's the dumbbell the strong man struggles to lift and then a kid comes on and walks off with it. The writing is 'stop crying' from a Dylan song, an admonition to myself to stop whingeing. The figures are judges, children waiting for the outcome in order to mature and integrate or the tri-partite self. The long sticks are weapons or pointers.

The white gloves I like, its how people are supposed to handle art, also there is a reference to magic, or prestidigitation. It's all fairly obvious to me now. On the ungainly stool is a rat trap holding a phallic object, how we, or I, repress myself, sexually. Eva had a line in her film 'typical Catholic, guilt without sex'. I loved the dogs head, so simple, a folded piece of black out curtain and behind the little fellow with a weapon. |
