Hiorns' reinterprets his 2004 work Leaving London, to produce a series of works that explore ideas about the re-expression of archetypes. Hiorns uses the form of male genitalia, to create a semi-abstract totem. In so doing, the work presents a talisman of abundance and good will that imagines the representation of a part of the body, re-drawn as a type of directional map towards a future that encourages the wider use of our bodies. The works is both a sign and intention.
Roger Hiorns' work currently represents the conditions the artist is under as a life lived. He describes his imaginative work as an organism that lives and moves alongside him through life, an organism ever in a state of dynamic change.
