After completing the previous series of work I became increasingly interested in the Tee-shirt as a motif for generating ideas. I was attracted by its immediate legibility as an image of contemporary life and as a substitute for the body that I could easily abstract. ‘Parade’ was a series of studies investigating how I could combine a representation of the Tee shirt as a 2 dimensional sign with a 3 dimensional form. These were later enlarged into sculptures cast in concrete. Here I employed some of the vocabulary of forms and spatial relationships I had used when working in architecture to help synthesise these new ideas with my previous working methods. Symmetry, for example in the ‘Two and the One’ has been used to deny any binary opposition and to create a more unified syntax between two bodily forms. In my previous work this would have often been expressed in more abstract terms without the same social and philosophical implications provoked by the subject matter.
