Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Mix together the tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and honey, then use to coat the art pieces. Lay the coated art in a single layer on a baking tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes until cooked and starting to blacken at the edges.

Love is the best, most insidious, most effective instrument of social repression.”

- Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

Fassbinder’s idea of the exploitative potential of love contradicts the romantic idealism we are commonly sold in films and love songs. This disparity is what inspires my artistic practice. Imagery from pop culture serves as a language in which to discuss the semiotics of love, lust and the power dynamics at play therein.

In this exhibition the discussion centres upon the 1930 song ‘Falling in Love Again’ by Friedrich Hollaender, and 2 of its most famous interpretations by Marlene Dietrich and Klaus Nomi.

Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt,
Denn das ist meine Welt – und sonst gar nichts. (German original)

Falling in love again, never wanted to,

What am I to do, can’t help it. (English version)

Tom Marshallsay

I am interested in the interrogation of the notions of masculinity through the examination of certain Idol and Fetishes. I am concerned with the workings of the family and the role of icons such as Wrestlers and Religious figures

Recently I have been working with Video, by working in the media in which these figures are traditionally represented, the work can be seen to transcend these models and the role they play. I aim to explore these entities further and to represent them from a critical point of view but often with a sense of empathy.
