Heart Shaped Turd in The Chest
2007
These wax sculptures were made for and given to individuals. A number were left on doorsteps for certain people. A feral cat destroyed one left for someone on the doorstep of their squat. Another was given as a wedding present and was most likely thrown in the bin, the couple expressed they thought the work was crap. Dozens of these sculptures went undocumented. Sometimes you are young and make romantic idiotic work for people that don't want it and there isn't much more to it. Sometimes the work is not originally intended for a large audience but just a private note to a person. Maybe 10% of these works were shown in galleries eventually, but they probably shouldn't be there. They should probably be with the rest, in their rightful place, being destroyed by natural causes left on doorsteps or wedding tables of the individuals they are made for.
