Daniel Edwards
As I try to figure out what types of projects I would or would not work on, Daniel Edwards’ work always catches my attention. I’m interested in pop culture and portraits (or in his case liknesses) and I see his work as a path I could have taken.
I think it’s great what he does, though I don’t know that I agree with it. It makes me question what I think is an appropriate use of a celebrity’s image. It’s one of the reasons I’m glad I’m not famous because I don’t think I’d like being one of his subjects. These celebrities are used to represent ideas, but they are people. Who’s rights or needs are more important, the society that uses celebrities – like societies once used the Gods of Greek Myths – to explain/represent aspirations/fears, or the people who are being used in this way? I used to think it was society, but now I think it’s the people. I think you should have to volunteer to be an idea or an ideal.
Anyway, here’s this dude sculpting this chick:
