The work explores the relationship between Jungian archetypes and political spaces. With influences as diverse as Hemingway and Mondriaan, new variations are crafted from both constructed and discovered layers. Ever since Bill Clinton was president, FirstDegreeBurns has clearly been fascinated by the traditional understanding of the human condition, which can clearly be seen in the work. What starts out as triumph soon becomes debased into a tragedy of distress, leaving only a sense of unreality and the dawn of a new beginning. As temporal replicas become clarified through boundaried and personal practice, the viewer is left with an epitaph for the limits of our world.
