Description

Mobile Throne: Part of the Children's War Machines.

I'd like to thank MattiasA [link] for the inspiration on this one. All his work is fantastic, but these two works, [link] and [link] in particular, made me think about what kind of throne a war monger would need on campaign.

I'm usually not interested in using my works as vehicles for political or social commentary, but in the face of the current climate of war mongering, I feel impelled to. I suppose they merely reference the old "fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity" adage. Big boys and their toys, all trying to prove that what they're doing is worthwhile.

I hope these works won't really need the above disclaimer, and will be able to survive on their own.

On a purely formalist level, I was also interested in making a series of works that used more "archaic" joining processes.

I hope these works will have a naivety, but at the same time have a sinister edge.

PS. Please excuse the dirty plinth. This is the time of year when all healthy plinths migrate to unknown quarters, leaving behind the old and weak.
