Andrew Bacon. Paperclips, stickytape, paper.

According to the artist's mother, Wendy, who submitted this work;
"This piece is a comment on today's consumerist society and it's effect on the psychology of young women particularly focusing on 'body' consumerism as force 'fed' by the media in fashion magazines.  The bone shaped paperclips symbolise the body shape as projected by these media articles.  The paper smiling face displays the artificial brainwashing from the paper pages. The piece displays these feelings as an egregious reflection seen in todays female body."
