“This work (“Hobby Horse (dada)”) is part of a collection that I developed by using the Bald Avatar as an actor in a continuing argument about the nostalgia of the “Avant garde”. The explorer is gazing backwards while his double enacts a kind of Mother Courage by pulling him forward…” – Christopher Orchard, 2020.
