In the Jungle

A painting from about 2012 designed to brighten up a children’s home. Based on the lyrics of the song ‘The lion sleeps tonight’ I hid the lion’s tail as a way of inviting the children to find the sleeping lion. Today the children’s home has now closed and yet still the painting adorns the walls.

Woman

She knows what she wants, she has every right, she’s human you know, she’s black she is white. She’s fat, she is thin, she’s fun, she’s a bore, she’s pretty, she’s chapel, she’s a down and out whore. She is rich, she is poor, she is young, she is old, she’s mouthy, she’s placid, she’s warm, she is cold. She’s graceful, she’s clumsy, she’s quiet, she’s loud, she’s a bitch, she’s a saint, she’s a lady, she’s proud. Dignity’s hers for that she will fight. Whatever she is she has every right.
