About the Work
John
Roy
says
of
his
practice
-
"My
work
revolves
around
iconic
forms,
their
social
memory
and
what
people
bring
to
the
piece
or
their
knowledge
of
that
form.
I
introduce
my
ideas
or
thoughts,
in
a
way
the
viewer
can
relate
to
or
interpret
comfortably.
Yet
maintain
my
social,
political
and
aesthetic
intentions
for
the
work.
In
effect
to
provide
enough
information
for
the
viewer
to
draw
upon
their
own
personal
experiences
to
tell
their
own
story."
