There is only one father, son
A series of fathers point off into the horizon at an elusive cosmic object in these hybrid artworks “There is Still Only One Father, Son.” These Earthly fathers assist their sons in identifying the True father, God, a guiding light awaiting the faithful for their entry to his Kingdom. The father/son unit are visual clones, homogeneous non-entities spreading apocryphal beliefs, reducing the rites of passage and the wholesome act of shared enlightenment to just another few bytes of data in the algorithm of species perpetuation. Traditionally it is God who has been credited with all of the marvellous diversity of the world and the heterogeneous variety of nature, yet it is in His name that many religious groups still enforce conformity in belief, actions and appearances - often resulting in total homogeneity of the group. This desire for uniqueness, in the name of sanctity of divine creation and God’s omnipotence, is threatened within this work through the practice of digital image cloning. This techno-artistic process elucidates the absurdity of the ideologies that attempt to brand and bind the sublime. What we are left with is a visual conundrum, man wielding the power of God to create more disciples, no longer meddling with His law and directive, but now signifying the natural conclusion to a comprehensively homogenized religious ideal.
