Rigged

Bob Bicknell-Knight (UK)

Titled Rigged, the work is a human-scale sculpture, made to be slightly larger than the artist, resting on the floor whilst suspended from a single chain. The figure is a marionette, tethered to a single spot whilst being only controlled by its head, reflecting human life and the lack of control one has over one’s own destiny. Instead of having a face, the figure’s head has been hollowed out and replaced with a clock mechanism, a nod to the artist’s anxiety around a severe lack of time.
