Lazyboy Jesus. 1991-93

The Separation of Church and state. 1991-93

I think its impossible to make work like this without commenting on religion in some way, rock stars play at being Jesus, they are the icons of today. John Lennon sang about being crucified, "the way things are going they are gonna crucify me" if Jesus were around today he would probably be a rock star and he would get executed with high technology. Could you image if he were crucified in an electric chair, the pope and Madonna would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks and Jesus would be wearing an orange cat suit.

Damien Hirst: The Mickey Mouse balloon mask bandaged to the neck of the guitar appear anthropomorphic, like a person with out arms and legs.

John LeKay: I think of that piece as disabled, mentally rather than physically, it's about a frame of mind, a negation of feeling and energy. Maybe through over indulgence in materialism, such as TV, acquired objects, art and ornaments, the furniture that we surround ourselves with to make us feel comfortable with our lives but at the same time were trapped and crippled, it desensitizes us.
