The head of a dead unicorn, furless goats (Scape Goat) and dead, obese human beings all form part of John Isaac’s portfolio. Put it this way, you would need a very strong stomach to live with some of his more powerful pieces in your home. Stage blood is listed a lot as a medium for his mixed media works.
All of his pieces are varied and, in my opinion, brilliant. The black sculpted bronze hand giving the one fingered salute is titled “From a distance you are smaller… But I know that you are there.” I also like his neon piece “What lies behind what lies before.”
