Scale, feeling small, being small. We are insignificant, but only when compared to others.

King and Queen

A modern update on the King and Queen rocks, much changed since the postcard circa 1912. 

I bought this postcard at the second hand market. After the photograph of the rocks in the sea I found in my step-grandfathers collection I became fascinated about being a rock in the sea, holding fast against time. The modern photograph shows time has taken its toll, but only a little.

Spiral Jetty. 1970.

Broken Circle. 1971.

Art on a huge scale, altering actual land masses. The Spiral Jetty is in a 'dead sea', is this significant?

Cow 2. Oil on Paper.

Cows are sacred animals in certain religions, why is this cows head on a human body? Is the person a cow? Do they want to be a cow?

Baby Face. Charcoal on paper.

Flo. Charcoal on paper.

The animals are looking out of the paper, straight into my soul? Do animals have souls? I would say yes, perhaps more so than humans. Humans end up in prison, humans have bad thoughts. Do animals have bad thoughts? Can animals think?
