Bureaucracy

"An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty. - Eugene J. McCarthy"

Part of a series of three pictures that I created on the feelings created by living in a city. When I first moved to a city in 1995 I was interested at how different the pace and quality of life were to what I was used to. These images show my thoughts on a few issues city life raises.

The dead-eyed imperiousness that is the red tape involved with getting anything done involving local government.

Under the dead eyes I wanted to comment on the character by putting false tears in the picture the sense of false caring that you get from governmental offices. Certainly in my experience when one expects help.

The down turned lips raised in a sneer. I wanted to get a sense of aloofness from the face. An uncaring visage that looks through you.
