This is my second attempt and i have called this just for kicks. This is my take on a growing problem in the uk which is knife crime where people are stabbing people and other acts of violence and record it on there mobile phones. I have made the people as snakes with hoodies on and no faces as you never find out who they are .The red hands is to reprecent that they have blood on there hands.The person in the corner is the victem who has been stabed,he has no face as this could be anybody from any walk of life. The blue snake when finished will be holdding a mobile phone . The sculpture is 90% finished.

Hello!
Remarkably that your work has social sense. The violence problem will be always important for research. As it is its new aspect.
Violence for the purpose of self-advertisement, as an image element. It not money, not the power, not sex.
I work in slightly other manner. I prefer to replace absence of the person (emptiness instead of the person) in an artistic image. For example - a mask. But your point of view is equivalent.
You the real master with an active vital position. These are not painted dolls and trinkets. Decorative art is interesting, but social it is more necessary and more useful.
It is glad to acquaintance to your creativity.
Excuse for transfer, I use PROMT program.
