work also reminds me of Alexandre da Cunha http://www.thomasdanegallery.com/artists/26-Alexandre-da-Cunha/works/ who also came into Chelsea and gave us a talk about his work. However I do like the cement mixer drums that he puts on plinths, They also remind me of

They all feels highly polished and a polite questioning of the detritus of modern life, while there is something interesting in that I lean more towards Annette Messager, "Dependant, Independant"

or the early works of Cleos Oldendurg http://plazalondon.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/claes-oldenburgs-store-1961/ 

Cleos Oldenburg

 for me these works have a more visceral impact on the audience. The clean over polished aesthetics reflect a consumer, capitalist state. I'm more interested in the underbelly of society where sin and dedauchery take us back to the animal instincts, pre religion and pre prejudice, The moment before labels like 'Its a Girl' define who and what you should become to fit into a social structure.

I lean more towards Marvin Chetwynd http://www.e-flux.com/announcements/marvin-gaye-chetwynd-and-tala-madani/

or Paul Maccarthy who's work pulls you in and churns up your emotions. Although I do like the repetition and pattern of the work so will take something from that. Also been looking at Chapman brothers earlier work again.
