Commentary

The idea circulating behind this body of work was that I’d be less cryptic about my subject matter and instead just directly deal with the chips on my shoulder. Each of the pieces in this exhibition does what it says on the label and boldly comments on topical issues, such as the plight and disappearance of the native red squirrel in the Scottish landscape, America’s decision to attack Iraq following 9/11 and the challenge of combining the conflicting theories of evolution
and creation.

Many of these pieces were initially displayed at The Forest/Total Kunst in Edinburgh, Scotland in September 2004.
