Don Driver
Artwork Detail
Ladders painted in the three colours support that symbolic cliché of prurient behaviour: greasy and stained overcoats. In this context, men’s clothes are rendered as both predatory signs and disconcerting artefacts. Compelling ideas about the sordid ‘peeping tom’ and the grotty ‘flasher’ intermingle in a sculptural assemblage that expresses much about wicked male character. (Self and Other, 2003)
