Andrew Marsh Center Peice

For this project i have decided to tackle the subjects of both sex and politics and the ways in witch they interact. More specifically i am going to discuss the connection between BDSM and (possibly) a Fascist mindset.Theoretically those who engage in BDSM sexual activities are less likely to support an oppressive government or elect a leader who is a dictator. I am using a contemporary symbol of fascism Donald Trump to represent this notion in the form of a wall. I plan to build a small scale replica of his proposed wall with Mexico with the name "Rump" on the side.

the letters of this wall will be composed of human forms in bondage to twist them into the shape of the letters. i plan on making the wall hallow with cutouts and internal armature to allow for candles inside to light the peace. I also have taken some inspiration from Ben Sticher's Hair Jumping over nothing and i play to create spaces in the piece to allow me to attach hemp ropes to the forms after they are fired.
