'Personal Boxes', mixed media in Plexiglass boxes.
Exhibited at 'Young and Fantastic' ICA, London 1969,
solo exhibit, Angela Flowers Gallery, 1971. I started
these 'Personal Boxes' while at Chelsea Art College,
and the theme remained through the next couple of years.
Working with my own face as the starting point, either
life cast or as photographic images rendered on clear
acetates, I assembled different elements in relation
to them to create various 'private views'. Incorporating
black humor, visual puns and surreal juxtaposition,
I found these magic boxes to be a perfect devise for
reflecting on self, the image and the artist, the viewer
and the viewed.
