Post-Colonial Images of Humanity

McNicoll, Carol

This vessel is made using multiple casts of found objects. A figure from a table football game forms the bowl, which is supported on the backs of three Indian men cast from a plastic figure that once held a box of tea in a shop window. Transfer prints show a black model wearing Moschino clothing. This comments on elite football and luxury fashion as a form of neo-colonialism, sustained by the hardships of the Global South. Carol McNicoll has a life-long commitment to the ethos of recycling and reinventing, and has said: “I use second-hand objects because I don’t want to be part of the global capitalist project. There’s so much fantastic stuff already out there.”
