The work determines to highlight the grim plight of factory-farmed animals, in stark contrast with
the innocent image of farming and of animals imputed into children via toys and games.
Presented in twin image photo print format;
In what we believe to be the first works in a new genre within Installation Art;
deliberately selected items from separate product aisles within a large
public retail environment are brought together and juxtaposed so as to create
surprise thought-provoking dichotomies in the minds of unsuspecting
passing shoppers, and in so doing breaking down preconceptions from
advertising or brand image; revealing certain uncomfortable – or humorous – realities
