Stencil is a representation of a person. A stencil is a very conscious
marking. It is made for a mass-production of markings. The mass-production
if an image invokes Warhol, who was surely the leader of His Own Sick Crew.
Warhol's Wig? Talk about self as representation!
Stencil has purposefully "fictionalized" his person to facilitate the
pursuit of a goal he doesn't want. He wants to have his distance from
himself so that he can be numb from the pain of his own self-imposed
emptiness. Stencil's is a substitute for, a pornography of, a life.
