Mc Whimsical
Mc Donald’s Paper bags, Automated machines, White picket fences.
Dimensions Variable.

McDonalds bags dance inside a white picket fence, our childlike inner emotion wants to tell us these things are alive, a fantasy land of childhood dreams, but our rational self tells us there is something inside making these inanimate objects move. At once playful and banal these bags are full of life, full of the joys of play. Unyet there is also something rather sinister about them. A sense of repulsion pervades in the viewers eye. Is it the fear of the unknown?
McDonalds is the vehicle for exploring our relationships between the familiar and the other. Of the world we know and the world as it may become. Of life’s animate characters, its silent seconds and of life’s whimsical; bitter sweet beauty.
