about meggs' he-man busts (from the 'own worst enemy' show)

MEGGS: "Much of my artwork plays on the duality of self, so I like to subvert and portray icons of both good and evil and for me personally that references childhood heros like He-man. So for my 'Own Worst Enemy' show I wanted to create an installation of He-man on mass."
"I made a silicon mould of an original 1984 issue money box and then spent many hours casting the moulds in plaster. Then painted the two editions as part of my exhibition. You can see the results of both the installation and limited editions: here"
[Cheers for the trouble, dude!]
