STICKMAN by Bosch Hieronymus 2010

"Stickman is a poseable figure, made from an ordinary wooden art figure model. What remains from the original model is one of the hands and the feet. One of the hands I had to replace with modeling plastic (an epoxy material consisting of two parts which, when mixed together turns solid in a few hours). Some of the original springs remain. The arms and legs I replaced with hollow metal tubes salvaged from the junk I hoard. The skull is from a gift shop on the tram route from Seaton in Devon. The skull I had to hollow out in order to be able to insert the spring that holds it in place. The whole thing is painted white, to get the colours I photographed it with two lights, one red and one blue. The ball is the cast of the inside of a "disco ball", the motor that rotated the original device rotates the coloured lights in the video Rotating Balls". Since photographing "Stickman" the ball has been sanded smooth and now has a map of the earth pasted to the surface, and will resurface again in due course. At present "Stickman" lies in a twisted position on some cardboard, a crude outline round it makes it resemble a crime scene photo, something that amuses me each time I glance at it. .... "
