Big Government
$750.00
Big Government is a main character in my analogy of contemporary society. He has two heads to represent his contradictory messages. One head says what the public wants to hear while the other expresses his true demands, often in spite of the good of the people.

Come Blowing Your Own Horn
$775.00
Named after the story of Little Boy Blue, this piece is a facetious look at advertising culture and the inflated images that often accompany that which lacks integrity, authenticity, or quality.

Keep Them Distracted Day and Night
$795.00
There is a constant noise in our society which keeps us in a state of discontent and distraction. This piece reflects the division of our attention with the drone of empty claims from advertisements in the background.

La Niña
$975.00
My purpose for this piece was to address myself as a little girl. She was part of an exhibition entitled “Transmissions” where she was surrounded by figurines with exaggerated shadows that represented the playful imagination of a child coupled with an ominous side, their fear of the unknown.

Model of Contemporary Politics
$2,100.00
Politics often reveals to me boorish, childish behaviour from societies professing civility. This piece embodies what I think of world leaders as they engage in a struggle for power.

Monkey Do
$225.00
“Monkey See” and “Monkey Do” were inspired by the pieces “Us” and “Them,” which were created at the time of the rivalry between Donald Trump and the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un. “Monkey See” and “Monkey Do” represent their supporters, people imitating their leaders according to what they are exposed to as truth.

Sir, Yes Sir!
$595.00
This piece questions nationalism and the value of obeying without thinking the orders of an authority figure. The decoration on the surface is bold in shapes and colours, characteristic of national flags, but no specific countries are meant to be represented.
Pieces can be purchased in a grouping, or individually.

The Cost of Consumerism
$795.00
Oil is the foundation of many of the products we consume, either directly or indirectly, and has too often been the catalyst of war. This piece, the figure of a baby blissfully eating oil while donning army camouflage, questions what the effect will be on our future if we continue the mass consumption of products based on the oil economy.

Them
$525.00
The pieces “Us” and “Them” were inspired by the rivalry between the United States and North Korea. They refer to the “Us and Them” mentality often used in political propaganda. Their highly phallic shapes reference both a missile in the clouds (Them) and aggression in the form of a neanderthal warrior (Us).

You Are What You Eat
$775.00
I believe that what we put into our bodies effects our psychology and behaviour. As the saying goes, “You Are What You Eat.” The image of the mutated chicken has become a key symbol for me of the problems with the contemporary food industry in general, and this piece shows a child with eager fork and spoon transformed into this symbol, having become what he consumes.
