Boar's Skull

Ink, acrylic and watercolour on paper

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

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.
