[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]HANGMAN is used as an obvious metaphor. I felt a profound association between morbidity and mental pathology in the time I spent working in these hospitals for the mentally ill. A macabre \u2018Dance of Death\u2019 seemed apparent, being played out in front of me. A man burns a cigarette into the middle of his forehead, a vain attempt to eliminate the torment of his third eye. In my naivety I was hoping to elicit some sort of insight from the forlorn souls incarcerated within. Nothing could be less straightforward, I was listening to words which had no allure to common sense. However, hidden behind this absence of reality, these strange, coded phrases contained a twisted labyrinth of meaning. A few years later I produced ten woodcuts to combine with this collection of random utterances. They refer to events taking place as they happened in the disturbed ward or on the grounds of the institution. A fragile human presence paired with a jumble of psychotic words, juggled around and arranged in the style of an undisciplined Hiaku.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column_inner el_class=”block-flex-custom-width”]\t\t\t
