The sewage loves this part of the shore and, in praise of her idle, ironical life it chose to splash itself all over the whiteness and all over the town.

Boar's Skull
Ink, acrylic and watercolour on paper
60 x 60cm
2011

On some Pacific islands in the New Hebrides there is a tradition in which wild boars are captured and tethered to a tree by the natives. The women of the village are then responsible for the care of the animals which are worshiped and considered sacred. The boars are hand fed so that their tusks are not worn down foraging for food. The tusks grow longer and longer and eventually loop back on themselves penetrating the skull of the pig. An animal that survives it is considered the most sacred. In some cases an animal can survive for years in agony and the tusks can form another loop entering the skull a second time. If the animal dies, the women taking care of it get the crap knocked out of them and the process begins again with another boar.

Toothless Gorilla
Ink and watercolour on paper

2011


Inspired by the story of two-million-year-old fossil of a human ancester found in the Republic of Georgia in 2005 which may be evidence of the first signs of early human compassion. The individual lived the last years of his life with only one tooth ,proved by the bone growth in his jaw. This shortcoming may have left him dependent on the kindness of others who may have chewed his food for him.

An impression of a weird guy i saw whist trying to use the rubbish chute in our building. As I entered the bin room he stuck his hands behind his back and grinned at me. I dumped my rubbish and left him to his business.
