Boys gone wild naked

Description:Alongside two text-based needlepoint works and a small ebony sculpture, Boys Gone Wild provides a view into a fantastic penny arcade. Figures in the near and far distance are made up of the same-sized chunky stitching, which creates a dense textural object but flattens the internal space of the composition. The story, if indeed Yore allows one in his work, is denied any foreword by its author. The characters can tell no history — nor wish to — and there is no foreshadowing of a future. Yore has collected sections of the needlepoint mesh in op shops and craft stores, some pre-printed with floral designs for the hobbyist to complete, others bought blank and cut to fit.
