The Star Seed Trooper is a unique piece one off. Sequin Kay, a visionary artist working in a range of mediums all including her signature sequins, has recently released Star Seed Trooper with Art Wars the rainbow warrior. The ˜Star Seed Trooper is a subtle exploration of the perceived self. Embracing the unstable nature of identity the piece captivates the viewer with the materiality of uniformity, yet plays with the conceptual forms of light and color. The piece, taking up to 190 hours of work to complete, is composed of individually placed sequins and Swarovski crystals. The Star Seed Trooper is symbolic of a paradigm reversal. By immediately juxtaposing the semblance of uniformity in Star Wars stormtroopers, Sequin Kay's rainbow warrior takes on the forces of ˜evil of capitalism and homogeneity that make up the matrix of modernitys globalized world. Distorting the viewer's conceptualization of the fictional soldier, the piece calls to the warrior within, aiming towards an inner transformation. Central to this work is the theme of paradox and change. Made of a sequentially placed beads and sequins, this arrangement accentuates the uniformity of being, yet is contrasted by the myriad of colors and individuality of the piece that attracts the viewer. Shifting our perception, the stormtrooper, acts as the bringer of peace and invites the individual to engage in its own transformation. The Star Seed Trooper has been exhibited in Clerkenwell Design Week.
