This future punk image suggestive of an oil derrick, a thorn bush or perhaps a stooped old man, reflects the artists interest in ancient and pagan rituals within the context of the contemporary world.

The artist often uses silhouhettes and cut outs in his work as well as mobiles. This is referencing the decorative (doilies and feminine arts) and cross fertilising it with a hard edged contemporary subject (drugs, punk, anarchy)
