This a curious artwork. It started with those white plastic chairs you see around the place. These chairs have long reminded me of the Starwar films, with the black chairs invoking Darth Vader and the white ones the storm troopers. It has something to do with the negative shapes in the chairs.The chairs, like shopping trolleys, seem to be everywhere, even in the sand dunes of Dubai. Check out the photo.

Together with wanting to somehow bring the chairs and the Storm troopers together were also the curious images I saw recently of British artist Giles Walker’s homeless robots. I wanted in someway to place the trooper in an everyday human situation, like maybe stuck in a shopping mall.
