The combination of different elements , each with its specific connotation, forms one body with its base on a painter’s easel: a bust carved in wood (a self-portrait? a Jesus figure?), the easel, pieces of wood, and a painting of a Volkswagen. The unconventional way in which Jimmie Durham combines and juxtaposes them, mixing different categories of symbols and codes, creates new meaning.
