The Cantankerous King, Fisher III

The work deploys pageantry as denouncing the vast income gap between rich and poor. This work is an explicit, allegorical infinite visual abyss consisting of floating, ghostly pairs of eyes which is reminiscent a metaphor for the possibility of spectacular transformation and rebirth.

With influences as diverse as Rousseau and Joni Mitchell, new tensions are synthesised from both opaque and transparent structures.

My 5-year old and 7-year old boys saw a kingfisher in our garden and we were fascinated by the colours. It caught a glance of us looking at it and got a bit grumpy and flew away.
