The Executives
The Executive drawing and animation series were inspired by Eng’s interests in the quantum brain, mental maps, the collective unconscious as well as the over-pervasive epoch of the finance industry.
Portaits of the chief executive financial officer/advisor are drawn headless. In place of a head are lines and shapes that represent thought processes and psychological states:
An empty box refers to the cartesian mind, two men hang together like twins pinned to a clothesline, a sitting figure with a deflated head sits in negotiations.
The Executive collectives are more sociopolitical in their intent: A group of twelve figures shake hands in a circle forming one central tangled mind, figures descend on magic dollars, a city of figures are represented as mathematical functions, derivatives and integrals.
