Title ‘Idol’ Oil on Panel 198 x178cm	Title ‘Smoke’ Lithograph 72 x 60cm	Title ‘Mascara’ Watercolour 70 x 70cm

A child puts its fingers to its mouth and pulls on two cigarettes like pan pipes. Another rests a toy gun against its temple. I keep thinking of childhood as some form of atavistic madness, but do these figures represent children at all? They seem
more aligned to the natural world than they do to the purely human……The world is sampled for the first time but it feels like the same slightly weird way tyro acid trippers can stare for an hour at one of their hands
