I got an email from University of the Arts student Eoin Burke inviting me to the students’ senior thesis show. The image attached intrigued me so I wrote back.

ME: Your work looks tres Yves Klein. Are you a sculptor? A performance artist? A photographer? I can’t quite tell from the image.

EOIN: I am a sculptor, but I am a student and apprentice to Mark Campbell (thus being influenced in a broad use of mediums) and have in the past used digital photography and, once, performance to talk about sculptural ideas. The image on the card is a life size figure… and yes it is a little remeniscent of Klein, but only in the visual image, the intent including the subject and color choice are not. It is also modeled not cast from life as Klein’s was.
