In 1996 Christopher Wanker pictures were sent along with an application to participate in an exhibition in east London called 'NEW WORK '98 UK'. The pictures consisted of prints of photos taken of the card and paper model shown.
The model had 15 separate card figurines. 14 were to be arranged in order forming a circle facing inside or out pending exhibition context. The 15th was to be a much larger picture, a re-representation of the finale of the series, the 'cum shot'.
The model depicted me dressing for city business/work. When fully dressed I become one with the UK mobile phone company mini-maps I had been in front of. In the same picture plane as the map (perpendicular to the photo background of my bedroom on the floor plane behind) I am able to feel at one with my country's map and I am able to pull out my magical map cock, London's cock and become Christopher Wanker. In the next few figurines Christopher Wanker is in the trans-like frenzy of his magical masturbation and the map cock is detached from the UK road map-whole. He slips back to the floor plane of his bedroom - but during those ogasmic moments the UK road map is missing it's capital city.
This model was strongly influenced by the stations of the cross and main crucifix present on the walls of most/all Catholic Church's. I had been a practising Catholic all my life until leaving home at 18.
MYthSELF assumed Christopher Wanker perfect for a role in the NEW WORK exhibition. Alas the application for a place in the exhibition was unsuccessful. Strike 1.
In the summer of 1998 after Englands defeat to Argentina in the world cup quarter final I broke my arm. I stopped making Christopher Wanker pictures because of my cast, wrote a book about witches for my niece and began to get re-interested in military costume and history. In the Fall of 1998 I met Laura with whom I moved to France and married.
