You Me Us

You Me Us is, in the first instance, a highly contemplative abstraction about humanity and human relationships.  It serves to personify the harmony and emotional connectivity within a relationship.  Additionally, it serves to entangle the observer into this relationship through empathic contemplation.

I was inspired to create this much larger sculpture of You Me Us during an exhibition of the small version.

It was during the day at an exhibition in Maleny, Queensland, that an old bloke very much took to the piece.  I’d never met the guy before and didn’t know who he was.  He stood there for what seemed like 15 minutes, which is quite a while.  Anyway, after a while he turned around and walked up to me.  He put his hand on my shoulder and said “So simple yet so effective, well done”.  And that was that, You Me Us the outdoor version had to be made.

So I embarked on the epic mission to get the wood and steel to make this sculpture.  The wood is Small Leafed Red Iron Bark, and it is heavy.  Before I started, that one single piece weighed about 500kg.  Being on my own, the hardest part was moving it.  One definitely has to adopt some ancient Egyptian methods of moving large monolithic things like this.

You Me Us now sits close to the front fence of my old place at Wolvi.

And at this point I’m going to expand a bit on the importance of the meaning of this sculpture and the war against what it stands for, but not in that order.

I don’t know if you’ve been noticing, but there is a war on, and you’re right in the middle of it. In fact you me us are right in the middle of it. Sorry couldn’t help that. Anyway, and moving swiftly along, there is a concerted effort by the parasite class to breakdown whom it is that we are collectively. They are working as hard as they can to drive a wedge between every single individual, or at least as many as they can.

And the reason for that is they need to be able to isolate people. They need to have people living as individuals, not in any kind of community or society. And why would they do that? Well they do that, because they want to have people isolated. And they want that because isolated people are more fearful and they are far more easily manipulated. Then, when people are easily manipulated, it’s easier for the parasite class, by way of all of their forms of propaganda, to bring people back together again to support their agenda, as and when it is convenient for them.

Next time you’re on social media, lol, which is everything but social, or watching any other vehicle for their propaganda, pay attention to the divisive nature of the messages you hear. Take war for example. Since when did the call for peace and cease fire get thrown onto rocky ground. When was it that the continuation of war, death and destruction should be the order of the day. It happened when it was very much to the advantage of the parasite class to make that the reality of the day.

And they make sure that you pick one side, their side. They make sure that every single thing you see is to their benefit, their narrative. And for those that can see though the lies and deceit, well, they train you to turn against us. They train you to ostricise and be fearful of people whom are not on your team. It doesn’t matter what truth these people tell. It doesn’t matter if they’re calling for peace or whatever you’re not supporting. Every single bit of reason will be cast aside because all that matters is that they’re not on your side, so they must be the enemy and they must be crushed.

So it’s important that we recognise this war. It’s important that we recognise their plan, what they are doing and what they are trying to. We need to remember who it is that we are, and that is the important point of this sculpture You Me Us. It is there to serve as as reminder of who we are, what we do. It is there to make a statement that we are not who they want us to be, we are stronger together you me us, and we will never be the slaves that they want us to be.
