"Monsters and Totems" by Jason Godeke
Jason Godeke is interested in combining familiar, machined, idealized versions of humans with freshly hewn figurative aspects that are crude and flawed. In a fantasy world supposedly uninflected by civilization, how would we really fare? What forms might we need to take in order to cope? A Barbie girl might need a gorilla's arms to survive in a world without cars, clothes, computers or cash. Captain America might not be a big strong hero, but rather a scared, vulnerable little boy. Godeke has played Dr. Moreau or Hieronymus Bosch with mass-produced toys, to give them a new and specific life. The resulting figures can sometimes feel like an exquisite corpse or they may come across as a totem sculpture, with familial or cultural heritage represented by animals.
