Follow the River to its Source, Black Venus Drawing

This piece relates to the origins of modern capitalism and the way in which the evolution of this system from feudal Europe to the present day has shaped history. From motivating colonialism, to being responsible for environmental destruction, to altering the very way we as human beings value certain people, institutions and nations. The shape of the piece is a reference to the feudalistic hierarchy that is mirrored by our financial hierarchies. The blend of images in varying styles utilises the Sergei Eisenstein principle of intellectual montage, attempting to evoke a mental image response for the viewer. While the title: Follow the River to its Source, is a statement about the way in which, once a problem in our society is found the origin of the issue usually relates to a profit motivation.
