This artwork forms part of a series of works that portray the artist's interpretation of the superficialities of society.
This is the largest painting that I have ever done. It was painted when at uni during year 3 of my BA Degree (1994), and was 8' x 8'. It was so large that I have to sew the canvas with my sewing machine before stretching it on stretchers. At the end of the year, it wouldn't fit out of the doors of my studio at uni. So the painting technician helped me to take that painting half off the stretcher and put hinges in, then re-stretch. Then we could take it out. I never really exhibited it anywhere apart from uni at the end of the year. Had it kicking around with my things for years, but during that time I moved house so much. Eventually I took it off the stretchers and rolled it up. Then I lost it. I wonder where it is today.
I was working with animal skulls during years 2 and 3 at uni, and this was part of my Surreal series. Shame I don't still have it. The series was meant to be satirical and reflect the superficialities of society.
