Life-size? I dread to think about the legroom...

Planes were emblems of communication, exploration, and discovery. The wonder of flight was captured and the future was a busied technological leap away. After the world trade center attacks, such imagery was doomed to be forever linked to that horrific instance.
Although we could apply a 9-11 hauntings to this work (this 'plane' is on a collision course with us) the "pared down and pure aesthetic" allows a much more positive idea to flourish. indeed, Anthony Burrill's imagery suggests a way through that apparent impossible impasse-a retrieval and reconnection of enlightenment ideals. But we should not get confused, this return isn't a retreat into an idealised past, as pursued by the despicable hegemonic orders of our day. This is a quiet, dignified, salvaging operation, one that retains what was left intact and begins to build anew, the possibility of forging a civil society.

Very nice. Although I'd be interested to know if this rather imposing, confrontational image creates any added anxiety among employees, clients, aviophobic delivery people.
