Undercurrent of Opinion HELEN BREACH<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Heads<\/p><\/div>\n

Undercurrent of Opinion is a new work, representing the emotional fragility of human nature. How opinions can sometimes serve as expressions of emotion. Information and mis-information influences people negatively, with harmful ideologies posing as genuine concepts and defeating individual thought.<\/p>\n

A floor-standing structure. At ground level a wave of grey plaster masks covered with distorted cuttings and images – out of scale and out of proportion like many bad anonymous influences.<\/p>\n

This upper wave consists of papier mache shaped heads, painted with portraits of real people from around the world – they all sat for a few minutes to have their faces sketched. I don\u2019t know what undercurrents are shaping their views and visions. As we draw each other, we become an item of observation, economic status becomes irrelevant, how we live is not important, we are bound momentarily in an act of timeless creation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
