Mmmammon! Printed and stained glass set in wood frames, 940mm high by 1120mm wide.Geoff Hall has drawn on Pop Art imagery and the anti-consumerist agenda of Adbusters to create Mmmammon! – a gently ironic take on the empty promises of contemporary consumer society.Mmmammon! takes the form of two framed stained glass windows set alongside one another. It features fired-on screenprinted and digital imagery adapted from ads. The two gothic panels individually take the appearance of church windows, but together echo the form of the McDonalds arch, suggesting the growing status of consumption as a new kind of religion.
Within this body of work I am interested in exploring the tension between reality and representation by constructing transitional, three-dimensional map-like objects.
