This installation was done my first MFA semester studying sculpture at Yale. I thought of it as a character study, but also like a lot of work I made at Yale there was and edge of parody in there. It was a little confusing, I was sort of trying to suggest I was like just promoting my bbq restaurant, or like throwing people off with that. I sort of imagined myself as a Good Will Hunting style Matt Damon character, an uneducated genius, who cleaned the sculpture building at night and created these diagrams on the walls. The chimney in this one had a little hole drilled in it, there was a smoke machine on the other side of the wall which poofed out smoke every once in a while. My professor said it looked like the wall was like farting. At the time I was perusing a lot of David Icke's various anti-semitic conspiracy theories about aliens called reptoids secretly running the world. The diagram goes into some detail about the process that proves there existence. This is the reptoid's eye.
