The Devil is in the Detail - The Artist Statement
He's not what you expected. No pitchfork. No fire. Just a suit, a smile, and a sign that announces himself without a trace of shame.
Look closely at the final letter. The L curls into a tail. It's there if you're paying attention. Most people aren't, at first. That's rather the point.
The Devil Is In The Detail is a portrait of charm as a weapon. The love bomber. The gaslighter. The person who arrives looking like exactly what you needed and leaves having quietly demolished your foundations. He's the manosphere in a suit. The politician with the reassuring voice. Anyone who has ever weaponised warmth against someone who was only trying to stay open to the world.
He is hand-cut from wood into his own silhouette — red suit, pink shirt, orange tie, purple painted nails — every surface covered in hand-applied Ben-Day dots that reward close looking. The sign he holds is hand-lettered in traditional signwriting style, the letterforms worked in deep red glitter so the text catches the light like something genuinely dangerous. One hand is raised — a gesture that could be greeting, could be performance, could be both. The craftsmanship is meticulous because that's how it works, isn't it? The more beautiful the surface, the more carefully you should look underneath.
Trust your gut. Look at the detail. Don't make deals with the devil.
He's charming. That's the warning.
