WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
Milk as Balm
Good trouble, necessary trouble... Created to mark the social unrest resulting from the police murder of George Floyd and the fight against institutional racism and other forms of discrimination worldwide. This work also forms part of an aesthetic investigation into reality vs unreality as a shifting analogy of quantum systems. 25% of proceeds will be donated to the Southern Poverty Law Centre in the United States 2021.

They want our silence.... Created to mark the protests emerging from the attempted crackdown on rights and freedoms in Hong Kong by the Communist Party of China and to protest against the violent response to them. The work is also a response to any similar protest situations worldwide and an attempt to highlight the profound importance of civil unrest. The piece also forms part of an ongoing aesthetic investigation into reality vs unreality as a shifting analogy of quantum systems. 25% of proceeds will be donated to the charity Hong Kong Watch. 2021 Digital sculpture/digital painting JPG 16000 x 11200 ed. 20

The loneliest sport in the world... Created to honour the strange bravery and fringe mindsets of fight sport athletes. Here, Michael “2 Guns” Younis and Scott “The Bear” Trelford contest an amateur MMA bout at GTFP Fight Night 3 in Wolverhampton, UK, in 2016. Younis won by TKO (punches) after 1 minute of the first round. The piece is part of an ongoing series on the extremes of human existence, parallel to an aesthetic investigation into reality vs unreality as a shifting analogy of quantum systems. 25% of proceeds will be donated to the UK-based mental health charity Mind. 2021 Digital sculpture/digital painting JPG 16000 x 11200 ed. 20
