What are you trying to say with your European Heads?
Brele Scholz:
The 28 heads represent the 28 members of the EU. We Europeans are extremely diverse, and yet we are “cut from the same wood”. I wanted to set down a marker for diversity. We are all dependent upon one another. National barriers simply impede our progress.
What gave you the idea for the “Remoulded Europeans”?
Brele Scholz:
I opened up the European Heads in order to highlight the complex reality of social change in Europe. Europe as a brainchild and artificial creation needs to become anchored in the real world populated by real people. A European identity is not something that will develop overnight.
Why did you choose casting resin from MC for your work?
Brele Scholz:
When I first came to MC, I was immediately interested in its casting resin. I had been looking for a new material for a long time that I could use in addition to wood. It had to be a modern but artistic material which could complement natural wood. I experimented for several weeks with
MC-DUR 1204 and discovered, among other things, that you can use various colours to paint it, thus creating multi-layered complexities in the truest sense, which I found I could use to perfect effect for my head shrines.
