End of year show Fine art practice Central college

 
The title of my piece is “there is nothing stranger than people” this phrase comes from something that my grandmother would often say when looking out the window at something that the neighbours are doing. this became the basis of my concept that we all judge each other . I believe that it is a very stereotypical thing when living in the middle classes to be more interested in what the neighbours might be doing or what they might think, we live in a society of judgment but also a charade of keeping up appearances out of fear of how others might perceive us. But the reality is you never know what goes on behind closed doors. It is hard to know what someone is capable of.
We often wrongly judge people and we never truly know what’s underneath. This is where my use of half bird half human creatures comes into play, my concept is that if everyone that was good or bad could be determined by looking different for example having a vultures head could show you’re a scavenger or a hawk to show you are a predator we would be able to easily tell what anyone is capable of however this is not how the world works, people put on a charade and a face for others to see , this raises the question of what does evil or good look like? And the truth is they both look the same.
