“…Running alongside the seeming directness and simplicity of John Isaacs’ work there is a pervasive current of unease and anxiety that identifies our modern way of life and its thinking as somehow warped, disjunctive and off balance … much of Isaacs’ work seems to suggest that if you scratch at the surface of conventional reality, then a repressed can of worms – a world of ugly and uncomfortable truth – lies just below the thin plastic exterior of our pre-packed modern sanitised world. Playing with the extremities and taboos of the modern day norm, Isaacs’ art reveals a number of uncomfortable truths that, he believes, we are all, to some extent, conscious of.” (read full text here)

Very old post here of John Isaacs, but I must comment. I was introduced to his work MANY years ago and never even knew it was his! The obese person on the ground sculpture has been passed around the internet for years now without anyone knowing what it was. So happy to be able to find out and see more of his work!

Lots of different students know some keys of good term paper writing, however that doesn’t mean they would compose high quality term papers, but a essay writing service can aid to write the biography term paper of high quality and demonstrate writing skillfulness of students.
