Windmills of the Mind
7 Deadly Sins Collection
Layers of Perspex where Butterflies create a Circular pattern is called Windmills of the Mind.
It’s about growing ideas out of ideas or similarly, emotions developing on top of emotions.
The Circle represents something that has No End & has No Beginning.
Windmills of the mind represent the Future, a design to be to be recreated in perpetuity with different aesthetics.
My Windmills of the Mind series further adds depth to his work by manipulating layers of Perspex to enhance the motion of the butterflies in flight.
7 Deadly Sins
The gulf between Sin & Virtue has historically been a Treasure Trove for Artists.
The 7 Deadly Sins originated from Roman Catholic theology & can be categorised into 3 Groups:
The 1st is Physical, 2nd is Emotions & finally, Mental.
These sins are often thought to be abuses or excessive versions of one's natural faculties or passions. They examine the vices of Human Nature & the Ramifications of Tragedy.
Many prominent artists throughout history have addressed this balance in their work, resulting in a vast visual range of good versus evil.
JooJ chose to take an Emotional Route to Encapsulate the Nine Circles of hell from Dante’s epic poem that inspired Dan Brown’s book, Inferno, a profound Exploration of our Humanity & an allegory for Man’s Descent into Sin.
Thankfully this entire collection is SOLD.
