Counter-Signs: The Paintings of Tom Brand. Art review by Robert Kameczura


And God said … Have dominion over every living thing …
Deer Hide, Acrylic, Toys (16" molded globe)
1990

A great example of Carrigan’s wit.  A furry, warm, cuddly globe, suggesting the friendly environment of the earth, is plowed and despoiled by toy earth movers and littered with miniature trash and garbage.  There is new parking lot that does nothing but make room for the earth mover to plow away even more fur.  This is from a series of ball-shaped sculptures which actually rock back and forth to suggest the fragility of the environment and how its balance can be precarious.
