ANISH KAPOOR
‘untitled', 2016
Mixed Media on Stormtrooper helmet
310 x 310 x 325 mm
 
DAN BALDWIN
‘Storm’, 2016
Acrylic with varnish and gold leaf interior
Stormtrooper helmet
310 x 310 x 325 mm
Dan Baldwin says the following about his work 'Storm'
its titled STORM ..more about the feeling of nature, the power of nature, a return to the origins of the dark vs light, force, the sun, moon, the good vs bad, the symbolism of what a storm trooper stands for, the human aspect beneath the helmet and symbol of war, conflict. .
the interior is gold leaf, as its a iconic statement to wear one, or to takeon the role of stormtrooper.
AGNETHA SJÖGREN
‘Law of the Jungle’, 2016
Mixed Media on fibreglass Stormtrooper helmet
310 x 310 x 325 mm
Agnetha Sjogren says the following about her work 'Law of the Jungle'
This helmet is based on the Vintage Comic books 'Tarzan, Apornas son; No.2 & No.23' printed in 1976 and 'Tarzan; No.8' printed in 1979.
The Vibrant colours and paper were the reason I chose to use the Swedish version of the comic. Each strip is relevant and has a reason for being used, for example; on the nose Tarzan is reading a letter from some villians about his missing wife and child.
'The Law of the Jungle' is an expression that means 'every man for himself' 'survival of the fittest' - I believe that the definition of this is very relevant in the state of the world we live in today.
CARNE GRIFFITHS
‘Force of Nature’, 2016
Ink and tea with Acrylic
Stormtrooper helmet
310 x 310 x 325 mm
Carne Griffiths says the following about her work 'Force of Nature'
I wanted to create an organic free flowing design which played with positive negative space, dark and light and achieved some kind of balance, the thing with the Star Wars series is that it connects to a universal question about understanding rights and wrongs, good and bad and the notion that there are other forces out there at work - for me, nature is this force, all powerful and unchangeable.
MIRANDA DONOVAN
'Shooting Star', 2016
Acrylic, Enamel, Pencil and cement on fibreglass stormtrooper helmet shell310 x 310 x 460 mm
In our world of chaos and disorder Donovan’s Shooting star helmet is intended to evoke heavenly bodies, purity and good luck. Ultimately the idea behind it being we all can dream big.
