Wedding Crashers, Oil, About wooden panel, 61 x 46 cm / 24 x 18.1 in

Description

Fragments of a triceratops skull are grafted onto the body of a Pikachu toy, inside the arched nave of a church in Bristol. The three sources share nothing but the surface that holds them: fossil, plastic and stone receive the same light, the same defocus, the same edges eaten by the dark. Sense does not accumulate across the references: it thins. The title, borrowed from the film, leaves the ceremony to its intruders, a body assembled from extinction and mass production standing at an altar built for neither.
