the great thing about these two pieces is it looks as though somebody is in the shoes but they are invisible. go ahead, draw your own character into them - its easy! one could be a crack-head, the other a lost golfer. they are both melancholic ghosts traversing the subtle real back roads of dimension.
the story is open ended and quiet. one has stepped from the shadows, the other from a murky dam. who are they?
second hand shoes occupy a strange place in the world - someone has been in them, they are rarely washed, they often stink of another life. only the poor or penny pinching buy shoes that are heavily worn, otherwise they end up in garbage dumps or get recycled in the 3rd world.
canvas and concrete, leather and mud. i like the aesthetics of these 2 installations. contrasting materials, similar tones.
