Gog, or: The Corporal

Gog, or: the Corporal
WIP 2018, XPS frame, papier maché. approx 178 cm

Gog is the name of a mythical giant. I use Gog as a non-referential name. Gog is therefore a body, a material entity; a physicality, a corporality. The dimensions of the form aim to strengthen this corporeality.
The reference to the corporeal essence of the form is highlighted in its by-name "the Corporal" which may be taken to mockingly refer to some pseudo-military but wholly innocuous occupation.
