Front Toward Enemy, 2007, tape and vinyl stencils on canvas, 45 x 90 cm
Introduced more than 50 years ago, the Claymore aboveground landmine is known as a “dumb” weapon – it cannot distinguish between friends and enemies. Hence, the phrase “front toward enemy” emblazoned on every Claymore weapon. I have borrowed this phrase to explore how the relationship between a piece of art and its audience may pose a similarly unpredictable and perhaps threatening relationship.
