Paper Mache Love
This shot goes with some explorations with ‘Love’ as the main theme. They are consistent with inner city life in my work. This one comes from Camperdown in inner city western Sydney.
Bits of paper on a toilet wall – simple and fundamental. This was on the wall of a warehouse appartment loo in inner Sydney.
Love…what is it, where is it, does it cost or come with a price, where can you get it, where does it go, is it eat in or can you get take away, can one touch it, eat it, play with it…and who gets to play. Is it a given, an expectation, a need, an inheritance…or is it like toilet paper…can you stick it on a wall? And what about romance?

Beautiful piece. Like all great work, it LOOKS effortless.

This is a good message no matter how it was cretaed. I think love is different things to different people. One thing i believe is that love is verb, not a noun. If you have in your ability to help somesone but say, “I love you but I can’t help you right now,” that is not love. It is an interesting subject. Nice work, Robert.

love is exactly like toilet paper… you either give or receive it… but you never keep it… toilet paper gets flushed and it runs out and then you get some more… it’s the giving and receiving of love that makes it possible… that’s the only way love can survive

Stunning ozlat. Precisely .)

this is a quirky piece, one that love is surrounded with the symbolic whiteness associated with purity, “angelic”, love that is higher than the earth gritty realness of the toilet paper stuck to the wall.. you know, this has so many themes running through it, also what you have written is interesting too, my first response is, what is called love, but which actually takes on or should take on other words (thus love is wrapped up in toilet paper, which way does one roll?) tee hee hee.. funny how one image can speak or spark rather a whole lot of other metaphors.. or perhaps i am over thinking again. I do most of my thinking on the toilet, after all =D
