Craig Fisher make large scale installations using various fabrics that question the representation of violence, disaster and macho stereotypes. He references and makes work from cloth due to its many associations and employs textiles and craft, which are traditionally precieved as womens work. Fisher questions how masculinity is defined and what he as a man is allowed to do.
I really like Fisher's work because of the fabrics, they are so plush and colourful and you just want to touch them, even though you know you can't. I like how he can make something as horrible as knives and blood look so pleasing. Surely our brains must be having an infight battle as to merely whether we should like the work because of what they are portraying.
