David XXI
Studio Practice. these pieces are a play on Cians body cast and my current interest with future represented by a gas mask/tubing/ife support system. Plaster cast refers to greek and roman sculptures and Michalangelo's David, the wolrd famous human heritage, while introduction of modern war life support system equipment underlines the danger humanity faces in XXIst century.

Secret Garden Party - Lost Lovers Ball 2011! Here's a little poster design with photos of my friends that are in for the treat. Very simple, monocoloured. Works great combined with the location of the party - the battersea power station :)

Respublica Polonia
An idea for an art instalation came to my head today in the seminar group. Most Polish people, and I'm talking at least 50% of population of the country would not see anything unusual about a setting of similar project, no matter what place it would be... a church, a governmential institution etc.
Poland is supposted to be 95% Catholic, thats why other religions are being pushed on the borders of being noticed in everyday life, institutions, goverment's offices etc.
Most gay, jewish, protestant people wouldnt want to be put in one place with all the marriages (in Poland only between a woman and a man), one religion and a family model. However, this image still would not cause controversy and be consider sacred. The idea is to pin down brass/plaster letters and an actual logo to a wall and produce it all very pristine to make people realise that whats important about democracy is tolerance and acceptance to all citizens, not slogans and ethic/catholic dogmas.
The most interesting part of this installation once executed would be the fact that most people wouldn't realise what the real message is. Knowing I'm gay they'd look deeper into the meaning and discover the hypocrisy of simmilar 'logos' in real life.

Liberty in Blood.
Apparently the Egyptian national museum is threatened with fires. This has really hit me as when aged 13 I saw the Tut treasures for the first time. We shall respect human heritage for whatever reasons. countries rise and fall, but noone will bring the glory of the past as well as those pieces... ugh makes me angry.
hence the little graphic I made. x
