The shuriken here shown was made by me in 1995, along with three others. They represented a cockerel and a beetle. They were made from mild steel and cut using jewellers tools, and finally polished. Originally the culmination of a drawing project enacted on the streets of Bristol from 1990 to 1992, where ephemeral chalk drawings were performed as an act of transgression, challenging hierarchies within art establishment and museum, and providing fun for the artist. The stars were seen as an embodiment of the idea that after all negotiation has broken down then physical violence is often enacted. The original four stars will be on show from this Saturday at Boudica, Brighton. All are welcome to the opening event, 7pm till 10pm. Drinks and a bar, live music from Solid Birds Flying along with a retrospective of the art of Simon Mclennan, including drawings covering the last ten years, an installation utilising original abstract drawings for a super 8 animation from 1996 and much else. Come down and let's chin wag and imagine!! Simon
